From the Hedgerow

about

My wife, when I sometime pretend I am street tough, reminds me of my rural origins by telling me that I am 'from the hedgerow' not the street'. This song is a riff on that idea.

lyrics

I came from the hedgerow, I found you in the town
You fixed me with your pretty eyes and you looked me up and down
You said ‘ there’s a few things that I’d change but you’re not too bad
I think you’ll do for me my lovely country lad’

I’m very uncultured, you’re ever so chic
I’m dreadfully common while you’re wonderfully unique
Everybody’s saying that you’re way out of my league
I’d tell them the truth but I enjoy the intrigue

Chorus
And I said oooh what a feeling
Oooh what a feeling
Ooh I’m up on the ceiling
Oooh and I don’t want to come down


I came from the hedgerow, trailing bluebells in my wake
You said you liked my aroma and you took away the ache
Your beauty and kindness shine out through your face
I’m a bit rough and ready and my legs are a disgrace

But we go together in a rural urban blend
You’re my rock and my comfort, and my best friend
I’m a bit agricultural but you say it’s part of my charm
And I’ll walk on forever happy with you on my arm.

Chorus
