Lyrics: A tour de force, a tool to force, seasons last an age Space reclined, access denied, all for that saccharine stage You are the queen of trees Turf to course, blown off course, infested with the heath Seems unkind, your state of mind, new cut of teeth You are the queen of trees Burned by men with no qualities Cut off the top to the furthest root Move the blossom, shake the fruit Oh this is for the forest And this is for the woods The arboretum With all the shades of good You are the queen of trees You are the queen of trees Long live the queen of trees Long live the queen of trees

Lyrics: A tour de force A tool to force Seasons last an age Space reclined Access denied All for that saccharine stage You are the queen of trees Turf to course Blown off course Infested with the heath Seems unkind Your state of mind New cut of teeth You are the queen of trees Burned by men with no qualities From the top to the furthest root Move the blossom, oh shake the fruit Oh this is for the forest And this is for the woods The arboretum And all the shades of good Oh oh oh oh You are the queen of trees You are the queen of trees Oh oh oh oh oh the queen of trees

about

'Tree and Fly' was sparked when Phil watched a documentary about a giant fig tree in the Peruvian rainforest which relies on a tiny wasp for pollination, how the fruit supports countless species in the surrounding ecosystem, and how humans threaten this fragile symbiosis.

Lyrics:

A tour de force, a tool to force, seasons last an age
Space reclined, access denied, all for that saccharine stage
You are the queen of trees

Turf to course, blown off course, infested with the heath
Seems unkind, your state of mind, new cut of teeth

You are the queen of trees
Burned by men with no qualities
Cut off the top to the furthest root
Move the blossom, shake the fruit

Oh this is for the forest
And this is for the woods
The arboretum
With all the shades of good
You are the queen of trees
You are the queen of trees
Long live the queen of trees
Long live the queen of trees
