You've got the trees Right behind your eyes Showing me your leaves Telling me your lies This is how I know This is how I know about you 'Cos you're at one with nature Honey i'm at two You've got the wind Blowing through your hair Telling me your sins Showing me you're there This is how I know This is how I know what you do 'Cos you're at one with nature Honey I'm at two Now clearly you've got all the things that I need And you're leading me on when you're planting your seeds But I'm so messed up What can a middle-class boy do When you're Mother Nature's Daughter And I'm trapped in this city like a fool You've got the sun Shining on your smile Showing me you've won And showing me in style This is how i know This is how i know it won't do 'Cos you're at one with nature Hone I'm at two.

Village Life 02:40
Well I went for a walk As the last rays of sun Fell asleep on the fields Of the place where I run And I saw you You stood over a man Who was all tied up As he begged for forgiveness Could he drink from your cup Cos he loved you I stepped slowly through the trees I saw him get down on his knees for you And you screamed in delight Is it true Is this just village life Well he came to a head Like an old spent cask And you undid his knots And you took off your mask And you saw me I last seen your face In the Three Blackbirds When you served me my pint But you didn't say a word Though we both knew I see that twinkle in your eye Maybe I shouldn't be suprised by you And the things you did that night Is it true And I just don't know what its like When you You scream in delight Is it true Is this just village life

about

After growing up in Liverpool, and then ten years or so in London, Alex decamped with his family to rural Cambridgeshire. With no expectations at all he wrote and recorded a bunch of songs that chronicled his journey from the city to the country. Just stuff about what was going on around him, his wife, his kids, breathing in the fresh air and staring into the abyss…

"Frankly it's a real boost to discover a genuine world class practitioner who restores your faith in the genre..." Tom Robinson BBC6Music

"laid-back but infectious songcraft..." - Time Out

"....an old-fashioned troubadour in the strictest sense. Strumming gentle folk songs on his guitar, his warm and soulful voice conjures up memories of sun-kissed summer nights out on the lawn." - London Metro
