about

The tune for this song went round and round in my head until I wrote and recorded it, I have no idea where it came from but that’s how it happens sometimes...

lyrics

They pull up the truck
there’s goods to be had
thinking no one with that many toasters
could be that bad
and they clean him out of house and home
and even now he’s got nothing
they don’t leave him alone

it goes all around his small home town
the system he’d served all his life
had let him down
He couldn’t escape he couldn’t break free
they found his body swinging from a sycamore tree

and no one batted an eye
everyone has their time to die
sure it’s sad and sure some wept
but there weren’t many from
the company he kept
they couldn’t bring themselves to mourn
most of them all filled with scorn
he’d hoped his early death had meaning
but no one wants to know where the future’s leading
