about
Conceived in that same NY winter as Locust. Cold and hungry, Geoffrey fantasised about being warm in Queensland, travelling the back roads with their farm gate stalls and the honesty box where you pay for the produce you take.
This song too was originally released on our Whispering Highway EP in 2016.
lyrics
Without a doubt I’m no king of no highway
my apple stalls all who pass by
Rich firm and juicy it comes with a message
better take a big bite and be sure to enjoy
It’s no use you’re in love with your own excuse
It’s no use you’ve Eve-fooled yourself
From sunrise to sunset sell lots of apples
to the blonde with the bust, the rambling man
each one convinced by the tale that they’re dragging
marking their life through the lie of this land.
Market the fruit from our home tree of knowledge
to middle-class moralists out on sweet Sunday drive
Can I help you out with that log in your eye?
It’s no use you’re in love with your own excuse
It’s no use you’ve Eve-fooled yourself
