LYRICS:
Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows
Tell me who has licked the twoad?
What is hidden ’neath the road?
Tell me quick as I was born
Whivering like a downy horn.
Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows
Who’s inneath The Ooser-Rod?
Horny devil? Goaty God?
What is God in ethly guise?
One or mampus giant eyes?
Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows
Will the sweven’s golden keys
Hanging in the aishy trees
Open gawly geates to death
Who hoards ’es answers in the eth?

Sounding better and better with each listen.

[@Joy-Marie369]

I think this one might be one of my favorites on this album. They're each so truly magical and inspiring.

[@thesean3194]

I like the direction Polly is going. Dark and unknown.

Thank you Mr. Hedge for your insight

The vibes on this track are very obscure and otherworldly.

[@jonsoulfire6891]

Musical quicksand... Don't struggle. Had to relisten immediately

[@karlosdelpilar6647]

Hypnotic loop ♾️ ...Polly Jean 🙌🙌🙌

[@Knifymoloko]

Feels rebellious and liberating

[@wynflaeth]

Firstly, I absolutely adore Colin Morgan. Having said that, this music is just plain BIZARRE. By ANY definition! I have an eclectic ear and love many different types of music. But NOT this. What drugs are you on to create this mess? Hard to believe, truly, that you have a fan base for this! Good lord. 😵‍💫

[@carolinebennis9632]

Truly magnificent ❤🎶

[@indiestang66]

1:51 absolutely magnificent

[@InRainbows4]

Best part starts there

[@jeanpatricepetiteau3919]

J'aime déjà l'album, si introspectif et personnel. ❤❤❤

[@BtwinUnW]

A colin morgan fan here. I like to appreciate his efforts and congratulate him and both the female singer. His voice is dreamy and beautiful and as always he is full of talents. I like Harvays style she looks like a unique individual. This is the first time i listened to her. But..... i do not understand the meaning of the song. I'm sure there should be a deep meaning . I'd love to hear if someone can share.

*_The songs all have a disturbing sense of foreboding - Polly, her sensitivities picking up on what is, and what's to come ..._*

[@SandraMancini-pz3xp]

She is over sound. She came from another planet.

[@beestonpoet]

Very Bowie .. very grand music Ideal for a movie scene

[@wissquek]

The best on the new album!

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

Polly's gone all Wicker Man!

[@painpapadopoulos8120]

The best song on the album.

[@alexismuinos4779]

the man's voice sounds like Tricky

[@alejovj]

Robert del baja MASSIVE ATTACK

[@alejovj]

Del naja

[@judithw471]

It's Colin Morgan

[@shereewright3593]

Indeed, reminiscent of Tricky. Initially a very notties feel.

[@wackunin]

Which Bowie song this one reminiscent of?

[@marioberrocal1758]

I thought it was Robert del Naja on the backing vocals
