My Boys - Lyrics - Taken By Trees

Taken by Trees is the solo project of Victoria Bergsman, former lead singer for the Concretes. The act's debut album Open Field was released on 18 June 2007. Four demo songs had previously been recorded under the production of BjÃ¶rn Yttling and were available on the band's official website beginning September 13, 2006. The second Taken by Trees album, East of Eden, was available for streaming on Drowned in Sound, and was released on September 7, 2009 in the U.K., and the next day in the U.S. When recording the album, Taken by Trees retreated to Pakistan and recruited a cast of amateur musicians which is heard on East of Eden.

There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul, and the blood I bleed But with a little cat and by my spouse I only want a proper house I don't care for fancy things Or take part in the freshest way But to provide for my mine who ask I will work hard, on my father's grave On my father's grave I don't mean to seem like I care about material things Like a social status I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my boys There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul, and the blood I bleed But with a little cat and by my spouse I only want a proper house I don't care for fancy things Or to take part in the freshest way But to provide for my mine who ask I will work hard, on my father's grave On my father's grave Father's grave I don't mean to seem like I care about material things Like a social status I just want four walls and adobe slabs for my boys
