And brings me honey from the trees
Bumble bumble queen of love
She brings her sweetness home to me
Taste her honey and she'll break your heart
She brings her sweetness home to me
And I need her love around me
And I will always, and I will always
And I will always, and I will always be around
(repeat)
Honey so sweet and the girl she loves me
Honey so sweet and the girl she loves me
Honey so sweet and the girl she loves me
Honey so sweet and the girl she loves me
(repeat)

It's hard to believe that this album did not receive more attention. Maybe it's just me....but I think this entire album is one of the best I've ever heard. Go figure....

There was a short film that used the end of this song in it. The gist of it was a funny film about the end of the world. there was a gravity button in the used car that his friend had bought and they flipped the switch so everything started to float up. It gets reversed in the end but not before humanity is pretty well screwed. If anyone can remember the name of that short... Please Please post it. It's driving me nuts.
