Belly - Feed the Tree
This old man I've talked about
Broke his own heart,
Poured it in the ground.
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throw up it's leaves,
Spins round and round.
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs.
They put silver where her teeth had been.
Baby silvertooth, she grins and grins.
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree.
Silver baby come to me.
I'll only hurt you in my dreams.
I know all this and...
I know all this and...
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Belly's lead singer Tanya Donelly is reported to have described the song as being a metaphor about commitment and respect, with the tree being a place on a large farm where a family would be buried. "Feed the Tree" peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart in the Winter of 1993 was was ranked #24 on VH1's 40 Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 1990s
