But I’m dry as stone so your tree’s withering and

[Chorus]:
Fresh deadly roses
Fresh deadly roses

[Verse 2]:

Of all the lonely soldiers you left battle torn
And you cut their pride on your concertina
That surrounds your dying needs and your

[Chorus]:
Fresh deadly roses
(You gave me)
Fresh deadly roses
(You gave me)
Fresh deadly roses
(Oh, you gave me)
Fresh deadly roses

[Verse 3]:
And now I know just how it feels

Mine to break your
Fresh deadly roses
(You gave me)
Fresh deadly roses
(You gave me)
Fresh deadly roses
(You gave me)
Fresh deadly roses
