Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire - Vidalia lyrics
[Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire - Vidalia lyrics]
There was a time when I enjoyed vidalia
There was no other fruit I
Dared my lips to touch
My grandad, he prescribed vidalia
"For whatever ails ya, "
Heart disease, the grippe, and such
But to yourself this medicine
You'll properly expose
The benefit's of health, wealth, and respect
Eat it like an apple of a deep-colored rose
Sweet victory will be yours to delect
But how my palate grew tired
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
No thanks, I'll take defeat
I remember a dark and smoky den
Cheeks of roast beef bloody rare
Oh, whiskey-edged faces of barrel-chested men
And I'm feelin' small, weak and scared
I remember that nook, the way I shook
Pain hurts, innocence be damned
Red with shame and red with pain
We all sit down to eat our leg of lamb
Our leg of lamb
We all sit down to eat our leg of lamb
There was no other fruit I
Dared my lips to touch
My grandad, he prescribed vidalia
"For whatever ails ya, "
Heart disease, the grippe, and such
But to yourself this medicine
You'll properly expose
The benefit's of health, wealth, and respect
Eat it like an apple of a deep-colored rose
Sweet victory will be yours to delect
But how my palate grew tired
So sweet, so sweet, so sweet
No thanks, I'll take defeat
I remember a dark and smoky den
Cheeks of roast beef bloody rare
Oh, whiskey-edged faces of barrel-chested men
And I'm feelin' small, weak and scared
I remember that nook, the way I shook
Pain hurts, innocence be damned
Red with shame and red with pain
We all sit down to eat our leg of lamb
Our leg of lamb
We all sit down to eat our leg of lamb
