Strawberry Fields Forever













Your hair smells like … strawberries.
- Leland (Ryan Gosling) The United States of Leland

Becky (Jena Malone): It’s my shampoo dodo, it’s not my hair.

Leland: Well, I still like it.


Strawberries, of the rose family Rosaceae.

Eating strawberries helps cool the body, so it's nice that they grow easily in summer.

Incense Peppermint

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose


Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah,
yeah, no

To divide this cockeyed world in two

Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you
can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new

A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

Who cares what games we choose

Little to win, but nothing to lose


Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind

Dead kings, many things I can't define

Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose

Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense and peppermints Incense and peppermints

Sha la la Sha la la Sha la la
