about

Written By Ken Badger in 2009. Recorded Live off the floor, first take, no overdubs.

lyrics

The farmer
I saw the farmer eyes wild with drugs
at a party
or what passed for a party
back in the day
hey won’t someone help me out
this morning because
I haven’t had my had my OJ
knives are crawling up my arm
and I can’t go back to sleep
this morning because
for the sun beating down
will burn my brain
and my eyes wide open
won’t see
what in the world has happened to me

New York had Talking Heads, and England was blessed with XTC, but here was their equal in Toronto...”
Bob Mersereau, author "the Top 100 Canadian Albums" ... more
