lyrics

I used to be up there
Hanging in the breeze
Growing up from within
I was thin, In the tree
All bunched up together
Shadowing the moonlight
I used up all my energy
Coming through the canopy
Giving in eventually
Brought down with gravity

CHORUS
Stick on the Ground
Stick on the Ground
Lying in the dust of everything
That used to be around

I used to be up there
Up there in the breeze
Growing up from within
I was happy I was free
Never really realised
The sun went down so many times
You’ll never really hear me cry
Snapping in the midnight
Snapping in the midnight

Buds, buds, like pustules
Growing from my skin
Leaves leaves, like great green hands
Spring from within like wings
I bent and I swayed
I shivered and froze
The years went by I just stayed there,
But now, now who knows

I looked up to see my old home
Get higher higher still
I’m just a bone discarded
From the tree above departed
The other branches, twigs and buds
That used to be my flesh and blood
Don’t see me now
I’m in the mud
Don’t see me now
I’m in the mud

CHORUS

I don’t have a face
or I would would frown
Stick on the Ground
I think my bark is brown
Oh no here comes the dogs mouth
Gonna chew me up
And throw me down

about

Jody Barton Copenhagen, Denmark

Jody Barton was born and raised in the UK near London and now lives in Copenhagen. His rowdy and eclectic music calls to mind the post-punk and anarcho folk of Crass, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and just a little bit of Tim Curry. His latest project ‘Morris Maroon & Other Ballads’ is an open-ended work in progress both as a solo live set and recorded album.
