"An Exploration into Space & Time (the Vegetable Song)"

A revolutionary track in The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis' catalogue and a personal favourite from 2008's (Also Known As) Constellations.  My diary reveals the song was recorded September 3rd - a hugely enjoyable session, it being my first time participating in a one-on-one writing session with the bass legend, Robert Heart.  The song cements his introduction to the band, hinting at the grand scale of songwriting we would embrace on the likes of 2011's Hope And Monet, showing the possibilities of developing the improvisation always at the heart of The Garibaldis.  Finding myself in a band with Steve Wicked and Robert Heart is all the proof I needed to confirm the existence of Almighty Saviour Him/Her/Itself.  Peace be upon him/her/it.

An Exploration Into Time & Space (The Vegetable Song)

An exploration into time and space

Vegetables survive as the only race

Dressed as carrot I storm their base

The turnips defend armed with mace

An underground war fought by garlic

Mayonnaise dressing holds the barrier

The city walls made of bricks

Cannot hold back our army of hicks

With the hillbillies we unite

Our spaceship lands, we doth fight

Vegetable armies control the land

Our main weapon a frying pan

Got some oil, ready to cook

But I’ll to refer to my recipe book

I glance the pages as the aubergine marches

It’s too late, they stab me millions of times I’m dying I’m dying I’m dying…
