Quotes[]
Andy (on the demo): “The reason this Skylarking demo came out so gratuitously psychedelic is down to a visitation from my old work pal Dave Morgan. Post painting, grotto building, window dummy molesting cohort from my days at McIlroys Department Store. He turned up just as I was finishing this, so I simply switched the mic back on and away we went.”
Lyrics[]
Season cycle moving round and round
Pushing life up from a cold dead ground
It's growing green
It's growing green, well
Darling don't you ever stop to wonder
About the clouds about the hail and thunder
'Bout the baby and its umbilical
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
(Summer chased by Autumn)
(Autumn chased by Winter)
Season cycle go from death to life
(Winter chased by Springtime)
Bring a harvest or a man his wife
(Springtime's turning)
It's growing green
It's growing green, well
Darling, don't you ever sit and ponder
(Darling did you ever think)
About the building of the hills a yonder
(All this life stuff's closely linked)
Where we're going in this verdant spiral
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
Round and round and round and round
I really get confused on who would make all this
(Is there a God in Heaven)
Everybody says join our religion get to Heaven
I say no thanks why bless my soul
I'm already there!
Autumn is Royal
As Spring is clown
But to repaint Summer
They're closing Winter down
Darling don't you ever stop to wonder
(Darling did you ever think)
About the clouds about the hail and thunder
(All this life stuff's closely linked)
About the baby and its umbilical
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
Season cycle
Darling, don't you ever sit and ponder
(Darling did you ever think)
About the building of the hills a yonder
(All this life stuff's closely linked)
Where we're going in the verdant spiral
Who's pushing the pedals on the season cycle?
