Thickets Lyrics
(Just a little further up the hill boy,
You’ll be home soon enough.)
All along the river, peddling as fast as I could
Watch as the wasteland flowers
All cars and rubbish flourish, with black berries and red berries
Sweet black berries (?)
Tainted red berries (?)
Berries
Berries
When looking for my tower
of all the rails and the roads
I need a resurrection
as my desires and power, grown thicket
tall around me
Tall around me
Tall around me
Around
Around
Around now
Well, have I been travelling so long
that I forgot how to stop?
Why are my brakes all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
In mirror (?)
pale and deathly have become
Oh, what have I become?
Mother (?)
what have I have become?
Become
Become
Become now
Now
And all my wastelands flower
(and all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow on and
And all my wastelands flower
(when all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow tall and tall
Still damn tall
Tall and tall
And around
All around me
(round and round and round)
What have I become?
Pale and deathly have become
What have I become?
Pale and deathly have become
Become
Become
Become now
[etc.]
You’ll be home soon enough.)
Watch as the wasteland flowers
All cars and rubbish flourish, with black berries and red berries
Tainted red berries (?)
Berries
Berries
of all the rails and the roads
I need a resurrection
as my desires and power, grown thicket
tall around me
Tall around me
Tall around me
Around
Around
Around now
that I forgot how to stop?
Why are my brakes all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
In mirror (?)
pale and deathly have become
Mother (?)
what have I have become?
Become
Become
Become now
And all my wastelands flower
(and all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow on and
And all my wastelands flower
(when all my wastelands flower)
And all my thickets grow tall and tall
Still damn tall
Tall and tall
And around
All around me
(round and round and round)
What have I become?
Pale and deathly have become
What have I become?
Pale and deathly have become

This is a beautiful song. Surprised no one's commented on it really. One of the best on the album in my opinion.
A fantastic song. It seems to me to be a development of The Towe
-Taste red berries, not tainted. -Also, off the rails and roads, not of. -Growing thicker, not grown thicket
This is my favourite song on the album, it's just so heartbreakingly beautiful. The strings and Jo's vocals on it are stunning. Also, Tilda fits in so well!
this is one of the most relatable songs for me
on top of that, it's such a beautiful, out-of-body-experience type song
This song makes me feel like I'm standing in the dark in a barren field with owls circling around me... Wolf captures a brooding beauty.
("Just a little further up the hill, boy. You'll be home soon enough.")
All along the river Pedaling fast as I could Watch as the wasteland flowers Old cars and rubbish flourish With blackberries and Red berries
Sweet blackberries Tainted red berries Berries Berries
Went looking for my tower Off all the rails and the roads In need of resurrection As my desires and powers Grow in thickets Tall all round me Tall all around me Tall around me Around Around Around
Have I been traveling so long That I've forgot how to stop? Why are my brakes all broken? Wheels spinning out of control And in the mirror Pale and deathly have become
Look, what have I become Mother, what have I become Become Become Become now
And all my wastelands flower And all my thickets grow And all my wastelands flower And all my thickets grow Taller and taller still Taller and taller Taller and taller All around All around me
