Hidden Track Lyrics - Singles - Sheila Nicholls

I bought six sunflowers at Sundays farmers market 

The one near Selma and Vine 

I took them all home put them into a big green vase 

And they were pretty 

I was proud they were mine 

They brought fire into my house for six or so days 

Soon they were droopy I thought 

Hmm, time pays 

But one just kept on burning 

Like she was looking me in the eye 

Saying fuck you bitch 

Am gonna live without the soil, the sun, the sky 

Even tho I have no roots and I'm dismembered and on display 

I will burn 

You'll drink my like blood til consumption is pass¨¦ 

I will burn for all my sisters and for my brothers too 

And all the flowers long forgotten 

Yeah I will burn for you 

I just looked into her face 

Seeing her triumph her struggle and our race 

And I saw my comfort then and the numbness and self pity it brings
