Uncle Jack Lyrics by Big Big Train

English Electric Full Power

2012

[Intro]
Oh!

[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

[Verse 1]
The tilt of the earth
Makes the sun high
In the bright summer sky

Intensity of light
The earth turns around the sun
Spinning around the sun

[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Yes, he does

Uncle Jackdaw (Daw)
You see, he's heard it all before
Ancient and reborn

[Verse 2]
The flowers and the leaves
The birds and the seeds
The flowers draw the bees

And just after three
Evergreen and a mug of tea
Dog and master sound asleep

[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

[Post-Chorus]
Ha, ha-ah

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Don't you know
The hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel
Hedgerow, oh-oh

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds (Don't you know)
Fox earths, rabbit warrens (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Badger’s sets, partridge nests (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds

[Chorus]
Uncle Jack knows
The song of the hedgerows

[Outro]
