Lyrics Emma Pollock – Parks And Recreation

Someone take the scruff of her neck
Like a cat takes a kitten
You’re standing on my patch now
Isn’t it time she got bitten?

I’ll stare at my feet
Till I make you trip me up
And when I land on my back
Then she’ll be looking straight up

For the first time in years
I wish I knew the names of the trees
It’s not pointless at all
She’s gonna name all the leaves

If one falls and hits me
And I’m pronounced dead
I’ll know what did kill me
They’ll know what took off
What took off her head

I came down for a game of basketball
But you threw me a punch instead
Where is her support tonight?
Seems that they have taken flight
I was hoping to welcome you aboard
But the raft becomes lifeboat and I get ahead
She gets ahead

Screamed round the corner
My wheels took the force
Embarrassed at my lack of discourse
She cannot hold conversation

An influx of trespass
As they pass through my green

Can you see the tyre tracks?
Of where I did fall?
I didn’t turn the thing too well
She turned and she hit the wall

The fight it went out me
As I ground to a halt
And now I’m surrounded
Somehow she knows
That it all was her fault

I came down here for a rematch
But my bloody nose it rained off play
She’s calling for the dogs to spring
But they’re just sleeping in
I came down to feed the swans today
But your constant squawking just scared them away
Scared them away
