But nothing ever happens
and I wonder
I wonder how. I wonder why
Lemon Tree (de l'anglais signifiant littéralement « citronnier ») est une chanson pop écrite, composée et interprétée en 1995 par le groupe allemand Fool's Garden, pour leur deuxième album Dish of the Day. Première de leurs chansons à être remarquée, elle devint un succès majeur en 1996, grâce à son riff électronique et touchant. Le single a atteint le 26e rang au hit-parade du Royaume-Uni et est resté numéro 1 durant de nombreuses semaines en Allemagne et dans d'autres pays, notamment l'Irlande après qu'il eut été parodié sous le titre Christmas Tree par Dustin the Turkey1, une marionnette de l'émission The Den (en).
I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree
