In University I was in love with a religious girl from Saudi Arabia. This song is vaguely about that.
lyrics
Stinging nettles stole my dignity away, vanished in the undergrowth
will she ever understand, she is always in demand
will she ever realise, my façade is a disguise and I'll always go back into the forest
to search for her, I'll never give up, but I'll never give up music for your love
last night while eating dinner, I wished that you were here, darling I've been thinking about you in almost every situation wishing I could be with you, wishing you could be with me, wishing we could be together but
stinging nettles, grow between us
my heart is scattered all over the world, like a dandelion on the breeze
take me to the place where we first met, circumstances,
you made me feel like I was five years old, forever age receding, even when my hair is almost gone,
when we're sat together on the bus, the windows steaming up even though your covered up from
me, I know that this will work, I can still see you, your face, your heart
stinging nettles, grow between us
The world is full of tragedy and pain, and there's nothing I can do
Stinging nettles stole my dignity away... and there's nothing that I can do
stinging nettles, grow between us
