Poison Flower from Hello Hello by tahiti 80
POISON FLOWER
"I don't need no superpower to get rid of a poisonous flower”
The starting point was to create a soul song, like the girl groups of the 60s, a bit naïve, but which would evoke the joy of being single again! When we rehearsed the song together, we performed it in a more tropical way, with a touch of Ethiopian music. It was like a trigger for other tracks on the album.

Lyrics
POISON FLOWER
I was looking at some pics the other day
But none of them could make me smile
Nostalgia makes for a good screenplay
But here it didn’t seem to apply
It’s not coming out of nowhere
You made my life a misery
And even if you were a billionaire
I’d rather have a heart attack
And nothing will hold me back
Without your love
I feel so much better now you’re gone
Because your love
It’s a gift I will always return
Now here you come out of the blue
And you think I’m gonna welcome you
And even if you brought me a panda bear
I’d rather have a heart attack
I’d rather have a heart attack
Without your love
I feel so much better now you’re gone
Your so called love is a curse
A trip I wish I’d never been on
I don’t need no superpower to get rid of a poison flower
You pulled me down left me out there to drown
And I was stupid enough to believe you were my friend
You ran me down but I dragged myself out of town
On the night I put an end to it all
I’d rather have a heart attack
I’m never gonna have you back
Without your love, without your love, without your love
I feel so much better now that you’re gone
Without your love, without your love, without your love …
