from If these Mysteries are True, released March 27, 2023
You can see him, if you look through the gap
Knitting his way through the walls.
The Green fuse growing in the forest map
spreading out in bramble sprawls.

Hey, the slow worm hiding in the grass
Sticklebacks swimming upstream
I'm watching the bees
Collecting their fees

Oh hey, there's our pal, stiff as a pole
down on the allotment, he’s guarding the spot
As he stands below where the apples grow

Oh hey, apple, pear and cherry man
legend of the land
Oh yeah

Hey, I see him staring at the sun
He smells the imminent rain.
Guards the hedgerow, where the raspberries grow

Oh hey, apple, pear and cherry man
Legend of the land
Oh, yeah

The clouds blow soft
making fun of the earth
Lightening and rain
Tempestuous crash
making crops not cash
crops not cash

Hey, with his fingers stained with soil
he pokes this way and that
But I can’t nick him
Coz there’s no-one left to pick ‘em

Listen to the light and the light begins to shine
the hobby horse galloping over
bringing the village his bags of sugar
dark blood horse with the tinkling arse
his fruit will go off if you don't pick it today
the storm at the end of the summer is coming
He's a generous fellow with an organic plan
Apple, pear and cherry man

Martin Rowson - “Imagine Bertholdt Brecht, David Bowie about to book his ticket to Berlin and John Otway had kittens and puppies, and that those hellspawn then interbred incestuously - their progeny would probably sound like "Introducing Bobby Bluff", but with the passionate intensity toned down. I can think of no higher praise than that. Brilliant stuff.” ... more
