Lyrics:Broomstick Rhythm

by Andy Partridge

As you're sweeping Autumn leaves up You are sweeping My fallen heart up with 'em As you're sweeping Autumn leaves up You are sweeping In swish-back broomstick rhythm You're dressed in red Your hair and head a brush of fire To make leaves jealous or dead Ordered to parade Swayed by broomstick rhythm Hey! As you're sweeping Winter snow up They have fallen For you so please forgive 'em As you're sweeping Winter snow up You are sweeping In swish-back broomstick rhythm You're dressed in white There is no fight only surrender And an envy of you melting drifts will rush Brushed in broomstick rhythm Hey! Hey! As you're sweeping Summer dust up See it swirl In homage making ribbons As you're sweeping Summer dust up You are sweeping In swish-back broomstick rhythm You're dressed in blue The sky and sun a hue more paler Than the glow in your heart I bask in your rays Days of broomstick rhythm As you're sweeping Springtime rain up You are sweeping My tears up 'fore I live em As you're sweeping Springtime rain up You are sweeping up The dead remains Of fears I had About giving my heart Away to somebody For good
