Lyrics Graham Parker

Graham Parker

Pollinate

I can feel it in the air

I can smell you everywhere

I don't know if you're receptive so l will play the love detective

Cos when the bees buzz in the apple blossoms

they don't think about their fate

Wake up now don't hibernate

the birds are singin' on the garden gate

the fruit is sweet upon your plate

Come on baby don't berate me let me in you know you sate me

when we pollinate

Let me know your fickle heart I only wanna play my part

and we will be resurrected and in the sweetest way infected

and when the bees buzz in the cherry blossoms

they don't analyse their fate

Don't think I'm a degenerate

if I want to consummate

people think I'm filled with hate

They've got it wrong that's out of date I only live to be your mate

Baby let's pollinate

I stood beneath your balcony I unleashed a symphony

Juliet was not at home She took a train and went to Rome

But I will follow anyway and try not to be late

My ticket will not terminate

While the birds are singing on the garden gate

and the fruit is sweet upon your plate

Come on baby don't berate me You must know you fascinate me

when we pollinate

Don't think I'm a degenerate if I want to consummate

Baby I'm not filled with hate

that's all wrong that's out of date

I only live for that perfect state

when we pollinate
