Hey! 
I heard the dandelions roar in Piccadilly Circus 
I heard the dandelions roar in Piccadilly Circus 
Take a packet of seeds 
Take yourself out to play 
I want to see River of Orchids where we had a motorway 

Push your car from the road 
Push your car from the road 

Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle 
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle 
It's all in your back yard 
You've the whole world at your feet 
I said the grass is always greener when it bursts up through concrete

Push your car from the road 
Push your car from the road 

River of Orchids winding our way 
Want to walk into London on my hands one day 
River of Orchids the road overgrows 
Want to walk into London smelling like a Peckham beggar rose 

Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle 
Just like a mad dog you're chasing your tail in a circle 
It's all in your back yard 
You've the whole world at your feet 
I said the grass is always greener when it bursts up through concrete

I had a dream where the car is reduced to a fossil 
I had a dream where the car is reduced to a fossil 
Take a packet of seeds 
Get yourself out to play 
I want to see River of Orchids where we had a motorway 

Push your car
It's all in your back yard 
Push your car
Take a packet of seeds

River of Orchids winding my way 
Want to walk into London on my hands one day 
River of Orchids the road overgrows 
Want to walk into London smelling like a Peckham rose 
River of Orchids
I heard the Dandelions
River of Orchids
Just like a mad dog 
River of Orchids
I had a dream
River of Orchids
I heard the Dandelions
