"Green Man" by XTC

Green Man lyrics – by XTC (full version)

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man,

He wants to make you his bride

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man,

Forever to Him you’re tied

And you know for a million years He has been your lover,

He’ll be a million more

And you know for a million years He has been your lover,

Down to the skin to the core

(Heed the Green Man, heed the Green Man)

Please to dance ‘round for the one called the Green Man,

He wants to make you his child

Please to dance ‘round for the one called the Green Man,

Dressed in the fruits of the wild

And you know for a million years He has been your Father,

He’ll be a million more

And you know for a million years He has been your Father,

Run to His arms at the door

Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head

Lay your head upon the Green Man

Lay your head, lay your head with mine

Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head

Lay your head upon the Green Man

Build a bed out of oak and pine

See the Green Man blow His kiss from high church wall,

And unknowing church will amplify His call!

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man,

He wants to make you His bride

Please to bend down for the one called the Green Man,

Forever to Him you’re tied

And you know for a million years He has been your lover,

He’ll be a million more

And you know for a million years He has been your lover,

Down from the hills to the shore
