Biography:
Strawberry Switchblade was a new wave duo from Glasgow, Scotland, UK, formed in 1981 by Rose McDowall and Jill Bryson.
Bonded during the Glasgow punk scene of the late 1970s, first as friends, then as bandmates. With their distinctive style (garish colours, polka-dots and a slight geisha influence) already intact they formed Strawberry Switchblade (named after a never-released Orange Juice song and quickly aborted fanzine) in the early 80s. After signing to Warners they moved to London, and released the single Trees And Flowers in June 1983.

I heard it on the radio and was taken back to my younger days. I never realised how
great the lyrics were until I had to write them down.
It's not absolutely authentic, but I think it works well as a 4 chord singalong.
[Intro]
D A G A (x2)
[Verse 1]
D Em G
Just close your eyes and then remember
A D
The thoughts you've locked away
Em G
When tomorrow comes you'll wish
A
You had today
[Chorus]
D Em G
And as we sit here alone
A D
Looking for a reason to go on
Em G
It's so clear that all we have now
A
Are our thoughts of yesterday
[Verse 2]
D Em G
If you're still there when it's all over
A D
I'm scared I'll have to say
Em G
That a part of you has gone
A
Since yesterday
[Chorus]
D Em G
And as we sit here alone
A D
Looking for a reason to go on
Em G
It's so clear that all we have now
A
Are our thoughts of yesterday
[Bridge]
D Em G A
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
D Em G A
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
D Em G A
[Verse 3]
D Em G
Well maybe this could be the ending
A D
With nothing left of you
Em G
A hundred wishes couldn't say
A
"I don't want to"
[Chorus]
D Em G
And as we sit here alone
A D
Looking for a reason to go on
Em G
It's so clear that all we have now
A
Are our thoughts of yesterday
[Bridge to fade]
