XTC - River of Orchids lyrics

Hey i heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus
I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus take a packet of seeds
Take yourself out to play
I want to see a river of
Orchids where we had a motorway

Push your car from the road
Push your car from the road

Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle
Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle
It's all in your backyard
You've the whole world at your feet
Said the grass is always greener when
It bursts up through concrete

Push your car from the road
Push your car from the road

River of orchids winding our way
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
River of orchids, the road overgrows
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose

Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle (yeah)
Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle
(You know, you can do it)

I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil
I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil
Take a packet of seeds
Take yourself out to play
I want to see a river of
Orchids where we had a motorway
It's all in your back yard
You've the whole world at your feet
(Push your car from the road)
Said the grass is always greener when
It bursts up through concrete
Take a packet of seeds
Take yourself out to play
(Push your car from the road)
I want to see a river of
Orchids where we had a motorway

River of orchids winding my way
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
River of orchids, the road overgrows
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose
River of orchids winding my way
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
River of orchids, the road overgrows
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
River of orchids winding my way
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
River of orchids, the road overgrows
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
River of orchids winding my way
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
River of orchids, the road overgrows
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
River of orchids winding my way
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
(I heard the dandelions roar
In Piccadilly Circus)
River of orchids, the road overgrows
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
Want to walk into London smelling
Like a Peckham rose
(Just like a mad dog you're chasing
Your tail in a circle)
River of orchids winding my way
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
Want to walk into London on my hands one day
(I had a dream where the car
Is reduced to a fossil)
