Lyrics & Chords


(Verse 1)

F
He claims to have tasted
G
the livers of chaste caribou,
F
masticated the
C G
devoted hearts of doves,
F
eaten cucumbers swelled
G
with memories of the sea
F
He consumes the baby goats
C G
that others would have loved

(Chorus)
F
He tells me to look
G
down his throat
C F
so I may glimpse the splendour

of all the beautiful

G
All of the beautiful
C F
things are in his belly but
G F C
they are not beautiful anymore
Verse 2

(Verse 2)

He eats the great
devours virgins, swallows strangeness,
gormandizes the
creatures of virtue
He sits laughing
at the table’s crown
He thinks he can become
the wonders he consumes

(Chorus)

about

The Leafy Greens Ontario

They thought: "We both play the same instruments. Let's start a band." So Emily and Jade became The Leafy Greens, a ukulele-bearing, folk-rock duo based in St. Catharines. Stay tuned; we are currently working on new songs for you!
