When I was a small boy

Had a book called How It Works

But I could never comphrehend

Those twisted tangled words



And through the eyes of a schoolboy

Spell it out in textbook ink

Write it out three hundred times

But it still don't mean a thing



So I take it all for granted

Ignorance is bliss

What I don't know and understand

I don't think I'll ever miss



Look at that turbine engine

Hey look at that micro-chip

I always thought we were held together

In dear God's fingertips



Like a fish in a bowl

I go round and round

Like a dog on a leash

You can't tie me down

Like a bird in a cage

You can't clip my wings

All I (ever) need is the wind



Come on now, come on



Lets move in algorithm

Talk in binary code

Force fed with technology

Lets fall into digital mode



Love in vivisection

Torment in profile

Everybody here been going around

With a Polyurethane smile



Like a fish in a bowl

I go round and round

Like a dog on a leash

You can't tie me down

Like a bird in a cage

You can't clip my wings

All I ever need is in

The Sound of Trees that's all I ever need

The Sound of Trees that's all I ever need



I was lying beneath a full moon

Considering everything

Looking for a revelation

Waiting for a tiny little bell to ring



Yeah I take it all for granted

Ignorance is bliss

What I don't know and understand

I don't think I'll ever miss



Like a fish in a bowl

I go round and round

Like a dog on a leash

You can't tie me down

Like a bird in a cage

You can't clip my wings

All I ever need is in

The Sound of Trees that's all I ever need

The Sound of Trees that's all I'll ever need
