Stranger Tractor

from What I did in February by Chris Harris

about

It's the same, but it's different. You see what I did there?

lyrics

A bloke I know has a got a farm
a few miles up the road
The crops he grows will do you harm
for sometimes they explode
I asked why his agriculture
always went so wrong
And that was when he looked at me
and then burst into song

"Things haven't always been this way
so please believe me when I say..."

"...my mitigating factor
is that I am sorely cursed
I bought a stranger tractor
now it's gone from bad to worse"

His story sounded credible
(or so it seemed to me)
but why should growing edibles
cause such adversity?
Why should there be jeopardy
in cultivating grains?
There is no risk that I can see
and yet, the fact remains

His situation's tragic
so I set out to tell
Does someone close do magic
who doesn't wish him well?
I questioned all his neighbours
and the truth at last revealed
They envy his behaviour -
he's out standing in his field

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
