Give Him A Flower
Arthur Brown
You're lying in your bath one day and looking at your toes
And sixty policemen bust in through the door
Don't you know it's an offense to strike a public pose
Cos even bathrooms aint not private anymore
"Cos we're all here lookin' at you, aint we?"
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a floweeeer
If you're lying with your girlfriend on the sunniest ''
And a eight-stone bully kicks sand in your face
And pours all your suntan lotion into your lemonade
And takes your girl and also takes your place
"Don't hit him with a bottle-"
"What should I do?"
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a floweeeer
When you're driving on the N1 in your 1920 Ford
Without tax or MOT or any brakes
And you're banned from driving late and you reverse into a truck
And the driver is the same eight-stone bully who kicked sand in your face in the last verse-
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a floweeeer
Roses, rhododendrons, lilies, snowdrops (maybe nightshade)
Violets, buttercups, tulips, love-in-a-mist (nettles!)
Fuchsias, '', daisies, '', bluebells (?)
Cowslips, dandelions, forget-me-nots (poison ivy petals, eh heh)
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a flower
Give him a floweeeer
"I think you really ought to hit him in the head with a ''."
"No, no, give him a flower."
"I think..''"
"Give him a flower."
"I'll throw bricks at him, eh?"
"No, no..."
"I'll, I'll push him downstairs-"
"No, give him a flower."
"Or throw him off a building-"
