| Children In Bloom From "Recovering The Satellites" Children in bloom cookin' in the sun Waiting for a room of our own Leave my sister alone She don't deserve this She is a flower And I am a flower and we are alone CHORUS: I gotta get out on my own I gotta get up from this waiting at home I gotta get out of the sunlight It's melting my bones I gotta get out of ths slumber And just get myself home All these wasted dreams Just waiting for the sun To open up my heart To anyone Bring me some rain 'Cause I'm dying And I can't get this dam thing closed again CHORUS Where's the funhouse this year? The fairground's deserted And all the skies Don't see as near Nicole's my oldest friend But the altar is empty And she'll never be a little girl again CHORUS |
| This is the one song that's hard to find any information on. AD says that this CD is about what he was going tbrough at the time: coping with his success. The CD "Recovering The Satellites" is split into two parts, which I'll term as "frustration" and "recovery". This song is probably a bridge between the two stages. Nicole is the name of his sister, which gives the song that much more significance. I love how his songs are so personal. To me, this song is about wishing you could go back to your childhood. Or more to the point, appreciating the fact that what you had when you were a child was perfect. Not perfect in the sense that everything was gold, but perfect in that you could do whatever. You could be whatever. We all grow up and get pigeon-holed into what we do. And this song to me is about wishing it didn't have to be that way. |
