from: Christian Korbanka, Cologne, Germany lyrics and chords of: (Nothing But) Flowers by The Talking Heads
I am not quite happy with the chords. So, if you know better: Suggestions and corrections are always welcome! date: 95/10/15
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden Two fools in love so beautiful and strong The birds in the trees are smiling upon them Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers
There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers You got it, you got it We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner You got it, you got it There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers You got it, you got it If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower You got it, you got it
Years ago I was an angry young man I'd pretend that I was a billboard Standing tall by the side of the road I fell in love with a beautiful highway This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong
Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis You got it, you got it This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies You got it, you got it I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens You got it, you got it And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention You got it, you got it
I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies You got it, you got it We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries You got it, you got it This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield You got it, you got it Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle
