GRANNY

Granny!

Things elapse and run their course
You've had your day and now it's past
Where did all the cooking go?
The endless knitting patterns?
Your eyes are absent where once they were mighty

But she wanted to go home
Where did all the shopping go?
The endless supermarket shuffles?
Your hands are shaky where once they were steady
But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home

Her face wore the scars of household upkeep
And from your God you expected something
You worked so hard to die for nothing
Cast off, written off, sent to scrap

She grows old and fades and withers
A second childhood now she suffers
There was a dutiful mother
The constant stream of ironing and washing
Her face wore the scars of years of household upkeep
But she wanted to go home
Where once you were so skilful
Now you are just clumsy and awkward
And where there was vigour
Now there is only weakness
But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home

Her face wore the scars of household upkeep
You worked so hard to die for nothing
And from your God you expected something
Cast off, written off, sent to scrap

ISOLATION KILLS

But she wanted to go home
But she didn't know where that's supposed to be
But she wanted to go home
She goes from good, to bad, to worse
Where is the girl who once played freely?
Did you believe in all you worked for?
Time, so surely, takes its toll
To work so hard to die for nothing
Cast off, written off, sent to scrap …

Welcome to the Herb Garden campsite. We will share lots of frenzied frolics and scrumpy-ous sonics with you here. Check out our sites too - we'll talk on Wordpress, lark about on Facebook, shimmer on Flickr, and glimmer on YouTube, natch.

We've remastered 1989's Eponymous EP, often known as 'Bulldozer Jones', and all the tracks that led to Warner's DNA mini-LP. We've loads to reveal! ... more
