Strange Fruit Lyrics

The song Strange Fruit is performed by Siouxsie and the Banshees in the album named Through the Looking Glass in the year 1990 .



Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
Of the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to s*ck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop



Siouxsie and the Banshees - Through the Looking Glass
