Greenman Lyrics by XTC

Apple Vinyls

1999

Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
He wants to make you his bride
Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Forever to him you're tied

And you know for a million years he has been your lover
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years he has been your lover
Down through the skin to the core

Heed the Greenman
Heed the Greenman

Please to dance round for the one called the Greenman
He wants to make you his child
Please to dance round for the one called the Greenman
Dressed in the fruits of the wild

And you know for a million years he has been your father
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years he has been your father
Run to his arms at the door

Lay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head on the Greenman
Lay your head, lay your head with mine
Lay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head on the Greenman
Build a bed out of oak and pine

See the Greenman blow his kiss
From high church wall
And unknowing church
Will amplify his call

Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
He wants to make you his bride
Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Forever to him you're tied

And you know for a million years he has been your lover
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years he has been your lover
Down through the skin to the core

Lay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head on the Greenman
Lay your head, lay your head with mine
Lay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head on the Greenman
Build a bed out of oak and pine

Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Lay your head, lay your head with mine
Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
Lay your head, lay your head with mine
Lay your head
Lay your head
Lay your head
