Oh, Sylvie you’ll be brave, like the bees that buzz about
At work and in their cave, though their stings will gut them out
I didn’t want to leave you, or not as quick as that
But you shouldn’t hold so tightly to the laces of your lack
Save a little Sylvie you’re not the only one
The drones must have their pollen as the clover needs the sun
Have you paid the gasbill Sylvie / it only seems you should
It’s seeping through the floorboards / to Herr Thomas who’s waking up
(Look you’ve made the poor man cough)
Save a little Sylvie, don’t do what I’ve done
The hive must havе its queen just as the homeland needs its son
What I liked about thе bees was what i liked about you
They’re always buzzing, glorious sound of fate and wisdom too
Save a little Sylvie, don’t do what I’ve done
Mistaking diabetes for a cancer on the lung
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead, I think I made you up inside my head
Sylvie You’ll be brave, like the bees (they’re always buzzing), like the bees (they’re
Always buzzing)
I didn’t want to leave you, or not as quick as that
But you shouldn’t cling so tightly to the laces of your lack
The song incorporates two lines from “Mad Girl’s Love Song” by Sylvia Plath — ‘I shut
My eyes and all the world drops dead’ and ‘(I think I made you up inside my head.)’
