Itchycoo Park
Blue Murder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under Dreaming Spires
To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? - I got high
What did you feel there? - Well I cried
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
I'll tell you what I'll do - What will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - Won't that be cool
Why go to learn the words of fools?
What will we do there? - We'll get high
What will we touch there? - We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, It's all too beautiful
The lyrics to Blue Murder's "Itchycoo Park" tell a story of escaping reality and finding temporary happiness in a place called Itchycoo Park. The first stanza describes the journey to this mystical place. The lines "Over Bridges of Sighs" and "Under Dreaming Spires" give a sense of a romanticized, idyllic location. The line "To rest my eyes in shades of green" suggests that the singer is seeking refuge from the harsh realities of the world, and finds solace in the greenery of Itchycoo Park.
The second stanza describes the singer's experience in Itchycoo Park, where they got high and cried, but it was all too beautiful. While the high may have brought temporary joy, the tears suggest a deeper emotional connection to the place. The third stanza hints at the desire to share this experience with someone else, perhaps out of a desire to escape loneliness.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that Itchycoo Park represents a sort of utopia, a place where one can escape reality and experience a temporary paradise.
