A song about being in the greenhouse with your Grandad
Really about the special really old and young folks have.
lyrics
Me & Mathew
(In the greenhouse, my grandfather and me)
Sing little bird sing sing
Sing little bird sing sing
Sing little bird I love you
Let the soul ooze from your bill
Fill up both my lungs with oxygen
Fill both my lungs with oxygen
So I can breathe in a new day
Fill both my lungs with oxygen
Share with me your honey buzzing Bee
Share me your honey buzzing Bee
Share me your honey don't you sting me
At least until another year (buzzing buzzing Bee)
Tell me your tale old man
The tale of long long ago
Of all the beauty you have witnessed
Tell me that tale before you go
Speak of your life old man
Speak of your life grandfather Mathew
Unfold your magic, sweet clasped leather palm
For there lies your Baccie old man
And pray make us merry barley wine
Pray make us merry barley wine
Pray make us merry allow us to sing
Sing, sing sing sing
In the sum me of seventy three
In the greenhouse, my grandfather and me
MS: 'What does it smell of Dave?'
Gipsy Dave: 'Smells of summer Martin!'

Gonzo. Passion. The Ming Vase. Haunting and beautiful. Every listen brings a new favorite.
Do something like this again, Miss Emma. Please let the answer be yes. Please let the answer be yes! alien9
Hard to pick a favorite from this album: Nixonland, Get Off The Stage, Johnny Thunder, Best Shirt On, Marathon…such a great collection of tuned Dave Nemetz
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
