about

Recorded live at Oxford's historic music venue The Jericho Tavern on 29th March 2018. The Jericho hosted early gigs by Radiohead, Supergrass, Foals and Ride so we felt we had plenty to live up to.

lyrics

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
