lyrics

Baby you and me should plant a seed
Watch it grow on up into a great big tree
Some Springtime soon we'll see the blossoms bloom
and the branches 'll give space for a bird's nest, too

Maybe it'll grow into a lovely flower,
whose fragile blooms only last an hour
maybe it'll be a parasitic vine,
whose tendrils strangle us both in time

Maybe it'll only grow into a fern
oh well, you live you learn
maybe it'll grow into a thorny weed
you never know when you sow those wild seeds

I was walking in the garden of eden
when I came upon a man like you
he said "I'm not Adam and you're not Eve,
so where's the gate that YOU snuck in through?"

Baby you & me should plant a seed
Maybe it'll grow into a great big tree
& soon we'll be sitting in the shade
reaping the fruits of the plans we've made

When it grows tall & it gets real fine
the neighbourhood kids'll come & have a climb
As years go on we'll hang a tire swing
from a big strong branch that was once a twig

Baby you & me should plant a seed
& maybe it'll grow into a great big tree
I hope it don't get cut down by the military
I hope it don't get cut down by Hydro-Qc

If you wanna do something for Anarchy
Go pick a fruit from that forbidden tree
& you & your snake can feed it to me
and with our newfound knowledge set the masses free

Baby you & me should plant a seed
we've still got the rest of our lives to lead
even now I can see the light green shoots
coming up & pushin down some stringy roots

The future is dull but we can make it bright
if you come with me into the woods tonight
and push back a handful of the earth
Let me show you what a moment's worth

Baby you and me should plant a seed
I believe I would consider it a noble deed
let the roots push down into the ground
making a change to this land I found
With You

from Allison Allison Allison, released December 28, 2016
inspired and co-conspired by Gareth Davies of the Dead Maggies,
and by that I mean I wrote it to him as a letter while I was North of the Northern Rivers in New South Wales, near Brisbane, near Gold Coast, and he was in Tasmania.
he liked it at first.
