Lisa Hannigan - Flowers Lyrics






Hey, I heard what you said
In sun and in showers
We all must be fed
All must be fed

You wear yourself so steadily
You're ready for a fight
But in hell and high water
It helps to be right
Helps to be right

I don't know the rules of this game
And I don't think I want to play
I've seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won't stay

I burned all your letters
I buried all your stones
The curses and the raptures
I kept them for my own

Oh say, how 'bout this instead?
Come by with some flowers and stay 'til they're dead
Stay 'til they're dead

I don't know the rules of this game
And I don't think I want to play
I've seen your cards, and mine are the same
And if I come back, I won't stay

Come by with some flowers
And stay til they're dead
Come by with some flowers
And stay 'til they're dead
Stay 'til they're dead
Stay 'til they're dead
Stay 'til they're dead

    Beautiful , sometimes you come across a track and an artist by accident, I heard this first on last night's episode of The Virtues; great song and a brilliant series to go with it. ;

    R.... I....

    Same here i got me shazam out to see who it was, what a voice, only i can't this song on my Deezer ive got her albums up and singles and eps

    R.... I....

    Was pleasantly surprised to hear this on the Virtues. It seemed to fit perfectly. Have a few of Lisa Hannigan's albums. She is excellent.
    Hope everything works out in the end. Stephen Graham is brilliant.

  6. J.... G....

    J.... G....

    @ChrisR_art student R. Try looking for The Virtues album/soundtrack instead.

  9. C.... ....

    Lisa Hannigan goes so unnoticed, she's brilliantly talented and her voice is so beautiful. I wish you could tour in Wales :)

  10. H.... K....

    God! The music starts and you know it's gonna be good.

  11. V.... W....

    Nashville ❤️❤️❤️

  12. C.... S....

    I'm going to her Limerick concert in December :)

  13. V.... V....

    Come by with some flowers and stay 'til they're dead <3

  14. M.... P....

    buena buena!!!

  15. M.... D....

    Sorry "gee munny" IDK what you're talking about, Peter Pan RIP sounds nothing like Flowers, tempo, beat, lyrics, mood, they don't even use the same instruments save for acoustic guitar... This is so much more melodious than Peter Pan, and Peter Pan is way more up beat... And I'm pretty sure as far as the type of music she makes Lisa Hannigan doesn't go to Kula Shaker for inspiration, they're even completely different Genres Lisa is new age Indie Folk and Kula Shaker are closer to a kind of Psychadelic Rock.

  16. D.... A....

    Dat mandolin.

  17. d.... ....

    Love this tune!

  18. S.... ....

    Beautiful.

  19. M.... J....

    flowers only last about maybe 7-10 days at most, if cut. flowering plants will last if you are talented with growing things and can keep them happy. wonderful song. much love.

  20. C.... C....

    Amazing, from Ecuador - Sud America

  21. r.... h....

    It's sad this song is not available in the US. I clicked on the link but it's only for purchase in Ireland. A shame.

  22. r.... h....

    Does anyone know how I can buy this song in the US. It's not available on itunes here in US. I love this song, please help if anyone knows. Thanks

  23. l.... ....

    Me too. So hauntingly beautiful, the lyrics too... I searched to find the song. :D Yay for Nashville.

  24. T.... J....

    I'll by her album this afternoon! I love her music!

  25. G.... M....

    you're absolutely right!!

  26. M.... ....

    If you don't have a credit card, you can always purchase an iTunes gift card from Target or Walmart or any number of stores.

  27. K.... ....

    But if the artist has passion, money doesn't matter.

  28. b.... ....

    that's right! unfortunately I don't have a credit card, for that reason I don't download music from lisa :/

  29. l.... ....

    it's a bonus track which appeared on on of the itunes versions. just check the link :)

  30. n.... ....

    But there's no song called "flowers" on the album.. I already bought it. Nothing like this.

  31. U.... ....

    Hear Hear!!

  32. E.... C....

    que musica es?'
    esta genial :)

  33. l.... ....

    it's really expensive to make and produce an album, it takes a lot of time to practise and figure out what suits songs the best. also all the instruments and equipment aren't exactly a hundred bucks. it's thousands and thousands. if we don't support artists we like by buying their music they might have no money to produce more music we desperately long for.

  34. M.... ....

    buy? why buy thing when u can share em ?

    M.... ....

    So the artist get a wage

  35. b.... ....

    Love Lisa..she has the voice of an angel.

  36. l.... ....
