“Under the Ivy” was originally the B-side to “Running Up That Hill”. The basic narrative is a woman leaving a party to visit a nearby area she used to visit as a kid, but before leaving, she tells someone where she will be, so they can meet up in private.
The narrative can be interpreted mentally,...
[Verse 1]
It wouldn't take me long to tell you how to find it
To tell you where we'll meet
This little girl inside me
Is retreating to her favourite place
[Chorus]
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose, go right to the white rose
(For me)
[Verse 2]
I sit here in the thunder, the green on the grey
I feel it all around me
And it's not easy for me to give away a secret
It's not safe
[Chorus]
But go into the garden, go under the ivy
Under the leaves, away from the party
Go right to the rose, go right to the white rose
(For me)
Go into the garden, go under the ivy
Go under the leaves for me
Go right to the rose, go right to the white rose
I'll be waiting for you
[Outro]
It wouldn't take me long to tell you how to find it
