Lyrics
STOLEN FLOWERS
Well, I thought it was pretty cute
when you stole me those flowers from Tesco
you said “only anarchists are pretty”
and that you’d liberated them for me,
you said it was a redistribution of wealth
coz we all deserve beauty
and I was mesmerized
by your words and how they resonated with me.
CHORUS:
Romance isn’t dead it just cost too much money
If I had a car, I would drive you to the sea
If I had a home I’d invite you for dinner
But all we got is stale bread, fizzy hummus and thirsty flowers
In this smelly park where we kill endless hours
but we’ve got this moment, we’ve got each other and we don’t believe in forever.
We’ll grab the cheapest bottle of wine we can find
Watch the sunset, walk the streets ‘til it comes back up
keep your time-ticking bomb of a job
I’m glad I don’t have work in the morning
you can keep your fancy suited dinners
I learnt how to cook through Food Not Bombs
and I know how to make the best cocktails
from too many years at dead end bar jobs.
I guess romance can’t really be bought
though they wanted us to think that we all needed diamonds
the greatest marketing scheme of this world
convinced us they needed blood spilt for a symbol of love.
So don’t spill no blood for this love
and don’t buy me flowers if you know that they’ll die
Let’s plant a tree and if it grows strong
we can carve our initials in it
coz we are writing history and it’s up to us to plant the seeds.
