Mango Tree

Angus and Julia Stone

I wish I had a mango tree
In my backyard
With you standin' next to me
Take the picture
From her lips I heard her say
Can I have you
Caught up on what to say
I said you do

I said you do
I said you do

Through my eyes I can see
A shooting star
Weavin' its way across the sea
Somewhere from mars
Down the street we would run
To scratch our names in the path
Young and free in the sun
Wheels upon the tar
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do
I said you do

    My OpinionIt sounds alot like something Simon & Garfunkel or The Shins would write.

    General CommentIn reply to 'LittleBunnyFooFoo': Well she says "from her lips I heard her say"
    "can I have you"?

    so he says "i said you do"

    maybe this means she always had him, and does now, and always will.

    I love this song, so innocent and natural. It reminds me of fresh air, fields and the countryside. Young love..

    General CommentThis song just means love to me. I love it how you can kind of hear Angus smile at the line;
    'Through my eyes I can see,
    A shooting star'
    Oor maybe it's more that it just makes me smile. I love it!

    General Commenti think the line
    From her lips I heard her say
    Can I have you
    Caught up on what to say
    I said you do
    when angus says i said you do i think he means as she already has him and the lines
    "Young and free in the sun"
    is about being young and the endless days and fun they had.

    General CommentThis is such an adorable song. Most of Angus' songs are obscure, and this, being so simple, yet metaphorical in some lines... it's just amazing. When I listen to this, I think of young love, sweet, free and innocent. I love it.

    General CommentPretty much my favourite song.
    Basically just about young love, I'd guess.
    "From her lips I heard her say
    Can I have you
    Caught up on what to say
    I said you do"
    He doesn't know what else to say because he loves her so much, kinda thing.. Just my thoughts..
    Great song.
