about

From the perspective of a young child, a flower growing in the garden is full or wonder and the miracle of life. Then it dies.

Another nihilistic classic, this time featuring squelchy synths and RnB drums.

lyrics

Planted you when I was five
Never thought you'd grow so high
Mum said that you would survive
Three years on you died

Go! daffodil, go!
Go home, go home
Go! daffodil, go!
Go home, go home

Watered you when I was eight
But I knew it was too late
Tried to look on the bright side
Three weeks on you died

Go! daffodil, go!
Go home, go home
Go! daffodil, go!
Go home, go home

(I never thought my mum would lie,
why should she decide if you live or die.
I hope you find a place to stay,
find a place to stay, when you go away)

I hope you're happier in flower, heaven
