This is a cover version of new wave female duo Strawberry Switchblade’s original which was supposedly recorded as a B-side to “Bedroom Eyes” which had been mooted to be released as a single off the Only in Dreams album in 2011.
Dawn cracks the dark
And it breaks the silence
Of my waking hours
And my heartbeat's license
For I hate the trees
And I hate the flowers
And I hate the buildings
And the way they tower over me
Can't you see
I get so frightened
No one else seems frightened
Only me
Only me
I can't but see
That the sun has risen
To my window, my world
Of my home sweet prison
For I hate the trees
And I hate the flowers
And I hate the buildings
And the way they tower over me
Can't you see
I get so frightened
No one else seems frightened
Only me
Only me
