The lord of the manor
Loves the upstairs maid
And I tend the flowers
Of the seeds he lays
His collar is velvet
His hands are real soft
She sleeps with the master
I'm awake in the loft
I wish in the bedroom
The sheets were all torn
I wish that the flowers
Would only grow thorns
The lord of the manor
Has a wife of grey
He pays the chauffeur
To drive her away
The lord and my baby
Are upstairs alone
The one who could stop them
Is physically gone
I wish in the bedroom
The sheets were all torn
I wish that the flowers
Would only grow thorns
Loves the upstairs maid
And I tend the flowers
Of the seeds he lays
His collar is velvet
His hands are real soft
She sleeps with the master
I'm awake in the loft
I wish in the bedroom
The sheets were all torn
I wish that the flowers
Would only grow thorns

The one who could stop them

I wish that the flowers
Would only grow thorns

Never heard this Everly Bros tune before.

Well, I first thought this was going to be happy and chirpy - but this is a fairly dark and the implied violence is not what what I was expecting.
While accepting the notion that our first associations for music are often biased / flawed, they are still intriguing.l thought . Cool, a new Cactus Blossoms tune.Must be something to do with "out from time" or relatively "timeless" production values. Great addition to mix.

I thought this was Turin Brakes at first!
Well, this is new to my ears. Thought it was David Crosby before the singing started.
