Track Name: The Harvestmen
Days they spent under leaves,
up and down old apple trees,
they won't talk to bees.
The Harvestmen are in our fields.
Track Name: Big Boy's Coming Home
A new sound for a new era,
a boy amongst outdoor men.
An outsider, getting nearer,
remember me 'til then.
Track Name: My Stenographer
Overseas,
over sea.
Just my stenographer and me.
Track Name: Three Lucky Boys
A good deal knocked up by the sun today,
in vain calling out the names of our lost friends,
as we ran North along the King's Highway to Babylon.

Three Lucky Boys
repainting a boat

Iron dreadfully corroded,
fourteen carbines with long bayonets,
as we ran North along the King's Highway to Babylon.

These charming chairs
would make a lovely fire.
These charming chairs.
Are you suggesting that I'm a liar ?

we are Household Gods,
where did we go wrong?

Track Name: The Shifted & Shrunken Village of Weasenham St. Peter
Sticks and stones
collected for bones,
a small and formless cluster
that musters no pearls,
just swine.
Track Name: The Man with a Small Garden
The man with a small garden
is looking out for rain.
The man with a small garden
has mislaid his umbrella again.
