Bluebells Lyrics
Lucy, remember
The smell of that fall
The fires of fungus
And the rotting leaves
I fell off the wagon
Into your arms
Into this long month of sundays
And you were my husband
My wife, my heroin(e)
Now this is our final December
Now deep in a forest
Losing all though of spring
And nothing can help me remember
And I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has hold at last
Deep in a dream I set the calmness to spinning
And your love has come too late
Away from the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
Now that it's over after all that we had
A river runs through the rafters down, down, down
Does it leave me sleeping? Dreaming only of spring
The phone rings out and I remember
But I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has hold at last
Deep in this dream I set the calmness to spinning
And your love has come too late
Now wave to the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
Ringing, ringing, ringing
Wanna hear them ringing, my love
Wanna hear them ringing
Ringing...
The smell of that fall
The fires of fungus
And the rotting leaves
Into your arms
Into this long month of sundays
My wife, my heroin(e)
Now this is our final December
Losing all though of spring
And nothing can help me remember
And I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has hold at last
Deep in a dream I set the calmness to spinning
Away from the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
A river runs through the rafters down, down, down
Does it leave me sleeping? Dreaming only of spring
The phone rings out and I remember
But I'm going nowhere fast
A darker day has hold at last
Deep in this dream I set the calmness to spinning
Now wave to the garden gate
Wake me up when the blue bells are ringing
Ringing, ringing, ringing
Wanna hear them ringing, my love
Wanna hear them ringing
Ringing...

i think patrick wolf is comparing destructive love to winter. wake me up when the bluebells is when spring arrives and he has left his baggage of winter behind. he dreams of spring but he cannot get there because he is addicted to loving this girl who has effectively become his life.
It's "compass" in the chorus. Great song. Prefer it live to the recorded version though.
I love this song.. it's beautiful both live and on the album version.
However, the lyrics on here are slightly wrong. It's:
Deep in this dream I let the compass keep spinning
and
How can it be over after all that we had
I'm positive those are the correct lyrics.. I've listened to the song enough to know! haha.
Lmao. I think it's heroine, not heroin. :P
HAHAH. Yeah it's heroine.
That's pretty funny.
It IS heroin idiots...
The song is about being in a relationship you shouldn't be in any more - 'off the wagon and into your arms'. The reference heroin is to the fact you shouldn't be involved with this person any more but can't stop yourself.
it's ok to hear 'heroin' & 'heroine' at once, kids
It says 'heroine' in the CD sleeve, so I'm guessing that's what was intended.
this song is totally saving my mind through my break up.. i agree its about those toxic relationships, where you know you should be with the person.. but you are addicted.. but have to let them go. although i think it's heroine - as in someone you really admire and kind of put on a pedestal. x
It's actually "Deep in that dream I set the compass to spin" first; only after it is "Deep in this dream I let the compass keep spinning".
