Foals - Birch Tree Lyrics
The city I was born in I left a long time ago
And we lost touch, grew apart, my friend
My heart's an old pole dancer, troubled romancer, you know
It's a subway chancer, a question with no answer
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
And when we age shed our skin and grow
We shed our layers, spread our wings and go
My heart's an old black panther, corrupted financer, you know
It's a troubled romancer, a question with no answer
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

The city I was born in I left a long time ago
And we lost touch, grew apart, my friend
My heart's an old pole dancer, troubled romancer, you know
It's a subway chancer, a question with no answer
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
And when we age shed our skin and grow
We shed our layers, spread our wings and go
My heart's an old black panther, corrupted financer, you know
It's a troubled romancer, a question with no answer
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
Ooh (Yeah)
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
Come meet me by the river, see how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river, see how time it flows
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

One of the best songs ever composed 💗💗💗💗
Heard about these fellas around two years ago when I would often listen to them. Their quality still hasn't changed. Their songs are the proof. Listened to this song today and it's still a bomber.
This song brought me some more reasons to live
super vibes. Zagreb, Croatia.... waiting for Foals... will be hot like hell.
A beard is a pushup bra for men.
Luv it NIFTY!!!!!!

Foals lover forever
Coming out of an induced coma, having nearly died from pneumonia, sepsis and a pulmonary embolism ... this is what I listened to. Thanks guys!
Hope they play this in Detroit. By the look of the recent set lists doesn't look like it'll happen but one can dream.
God, everytime I listen to this song I hear another instrument or tune that I never noticed before and I love it so much. Such a relaxing yet uplifting song. Brilliant music by these boys
i was searching up birch tree cause i wanted to draw one but i ended up finding this and i don't regret clicking on this!
[Verse 1]
The city I was born in
I left a long time ago
We lost touch
Grew apart my friend
My heart's an old pole dancer
Troubled romancer, you know
It's a subway chancer
A question with no answer
[Chorus]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Verse 2]
And when we age
Shed our skin and grow
We shed our layers
Spread our wings and go
My heart's an old black panther
Corrupted financer, you know
It's a troubled romancer
A question with no answer
[Chorus]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Chorus]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Interlude]
Ooooh, oooooh
(Yeah) Ooooh
(Yeah) Ooooh
[Bridge]
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
Oh now the river runs away when I chase it (yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it (yeah)
[Chorus]
Come meet me by the river
See how time it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time it flows
[Outro]
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it
Oh now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round to face it

Favourite foals song
aquele pro final da tarde
last summer. last summer was awesome. it was sunny, full of crazy and funny afternoons spend with friends and family. last summer was weird. i felt something changing in my life, yet unknowing what it was. last summer was hell. days spent inside, not being able to stay motivated for anything, not able to be happy, sometimes for days in a row.
last summer was the craziest summer in my whole life. and this was the song i heard on the radio at the beginning of summer, and its contantly stuck in my head ever since.
ever since the first of may.
I love this song so fucking much
january 2019, anyone?
