lyrics

There’s something in the garden
Something I can’t see
Hidden in the shadows
Looking back at me
The garden is so beautiful
Danger’s far away
Somebody find the children
I sent the here to play

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

Oh there’s something in the garden
And you’d better catch it fast
Is it underneath the apple tree?
Is it hidden in the grass?
The garden is so beautiful
In the morning light
Somebody find the children
They’ve been camped out here all night

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

There’s something in the garden
And it’s down beside the lake
When I heard my dog stop barking
I found it playing with a snake
The garden is so beautiful
It shimmers in the heat
Somebody find the children
They’ve got no shoes upon their feet

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?
I think that I heard laughter
I think I heard a song
Or did I hear an angel
Saying come along

I think that I heard laughter
I think I heard a song
Or did I hear an angel
Saying come along

There’s something in the garden
A stranger passed by yesterday
He sang a simple melody
He stopped to watch the children play
You garden is so beautiful
He was leaning on my gate
Somebody find the children
Come on it’s getting late

Come on it’s getting late

about

James Brute image

James Brute London, UK

James Brute is the band and alter-ego of James Steel, songwriter and frontman of 2000s East London darlings The Brute Chorus. The warp and weft of Steel’s musical narratives on love, loss and lust speak to the basest of our human instincts, pulling on themes and characters both ancient and modern; arcane and mundane. ... more
