Sweet Flower - Malachai

What have I done I took a gun and shot a man dead

I know it’s cold but you don’t know what that man did

he stole the sun and one by one I saw my flowers die

and so I drove up to his road

breathing all fireball and explosions

if I catch this brother dozing, I know it’s wrong

but just supposing it in your garden there’s just one rose in it nectar so sweet you’d dip your toes in it until one morning you find they’ve stolen it they took your sweet flower, with petals so thin

that never hurt no-one and they won’t again, not again

oh woe is me what do I see what have I become

many a dream of men in green but never seen one

I never knew what I would do if I’m pushed too far

and now I know, I’ve made it so deep in these five walls all alone

I’ve realised she’ll never know the name of this song

or who’s composing it life on freeze as if they’ve frozen it far from me to rub your nose in it if they ask you why you’ve chosen it tell them

they took your sweet flower with petals so thin

that never hurt no-one and they won’t again

not again
