Beans On Toast - Apples (feat. Dizraeli)

As honest as an apple from an apple tree
Strong as an oak
As busy as a beech
I'll hold you like a weeping willow might hold you
With a scattering of seeds
And a sudden flash of magnolia

Knock on wood baby
Wish me luck
I wish I was as useful as a coconut

Both the bed that I was born in
And the coffin I'll be burnt in
Started their lives out as tiny little seeds
Easy to forget and it's hard to believe

As pretty as a peach
Proud as a plum
The ambition of an acorn
I wanna get me some
Swinging like a world champion conker
The secret life behind every door you've ever opened
From the tree top to beneath the floor
The handle of a hammer and the handle of a saw

The guitar that I am playing
And the stage where I am standing
Started their lives out as tiny little seeds
Easy to forget and it's hard to believe

We build a world out of wood
Fill our bellies on its fruit
We cut them down
Faster than we plant them

But there is still a path through the forest to your heart
And a little drumstick somewhere tapping out the rhythm
Can you hear them
Are you listening
I wish I was as useful as a coconut
