Sprout and the Bean Lyrics


I slept all day
Awoke with distaste
And I railed
And I raved
That the difference between
The sprout and the bean
It is a golden ring
It is a twisted stringAnd you can ask the counsellor
And you can ask the king
And I'll say the same thing
And it's a funny thingShould we go outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are you interestedAnd as I said
I slept as though dead
Dreaming seamless dreams
Of leadWhen you go away
I am big-boned and fey

In the dust of the day
In the dirt of the dayAnd Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a white coat
And Danger! Danger!
Drawing near them was a broad boat
And the water! Water!
Running clear beneath a white throat
And the hollow chatter of the talking of the TadpolesWho know the outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are you interested

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Joanna Newsom (born January 18, 1982) started taking piano lessons at a very early age and played for a couple of years, but switched to the harp at seven. Her approach to the harp, from the percussive aspects of her playing to her chord changes, was also influenced by West African and Venezuelan harp music, which she began studying at a folk music camp she attended in her early teens. At the same time, she also listened to more vocal-based folk, punk, and jazz like Karen Dalton, Texas Gladden, Patti Smith, and Billie Holiday.
