(Disco) Love Grapes

from the album "Zoom Daddy"
Words by Terry Taylor, Music by Terry Taylor, David Raven and Tim Chandler

staggering blow to your power poles
cancelled flight to your withering heights
wonder crust to your blunder bust
a quesling kink in a leaky sink
your jive is shucked, your luck is up
your days are cursed, you liver's worse
your ham is pressed, your more is less
and the harvest white, the time is right

God's little acre grows the fruits of labor
do 'em a favor, sooner or later
no love is greater than to love your neighbor
will you, won't you, will you pick some...

chorus

love grapes
drink a little wine from the fruit of the vine
grow love grapes
everybody's gassed, saved the best for last
stomp love grapes,
pick a bottle up, fill another man's cup
(drink) love grapes
squeeze another bunch, gotta beat em' to the punch, yeah

rotate your crops as another shoe drops
go to ramming speed in your nadaing greed
there's sponge in the bells and poison in the wells
a fly in the soup, a moth in the suit
God's little acre grows the fruits of labor
do em' all a favor, yeah sooner or later
no love is greater than to love your neighbor
duty free and beauty be some...

chorus

will you won't you, will you won't you
won't you pick some love grapes?

if you are not satisfied
move on out to the country side
where the mountains's high and the river's wide
lose your cool and bury your pride

plant your seeds and water a spell
become a famer in the dell
there are peppers grown on the shore of hell
so quench your thirst and do it well with

love grapes ("abide in me, i am the vine")
love grapes ("abide in me, and drink the wine")
pretty pretty love grapes
love grapes





My first Eddies experience was the "Berry Vest" (followed soon after by Spittle & Phlegm), so this was probably the first Swirling Eddies song I ever heard. I liked it right away- weirdness and fun all around. Very strange take on the command to "love your neigbor as yourself."

played ZD through twice and then two more times back to back with OE


OE has more songs and musically has more options... but I still have to give the top honors to ZD.

fatten up boys!

Love Grapes is awesome. I truely think that Zoom Daddy is Terry's best lyrically.

I was surprised by Youth. I was more or less expecting Blender part Poo

In the words of Shrek, "Really really."

A snippet of my thoughts on Youth "I more or less had my negative bags packed and was ready to not like Youth. To my surprise the first couple of times through I thought it was pretty good, and I found myself warming to the album despite myself. True, it’s missing Ross, but Joel is a good kid, and Youth has the feel of a transition album (I can almost hear the guys “Wait’ll you hear the next one!”). It’ll be interesting to see what Joel’s musical voice sounds like once he’s allowed to cut loose and step out of Ross’ shadow. Musically the guys have mellowed and turned down the crunch, but it’s a natural progression and the music retains the best of what made Collective Soul stand out from the other ubiquitous bands out there. Which was a pleasant surprise."

the well spoken Stuart.

I think my original synopsis still stands- its not that they dont do what a lot of bands did or are doing- but they approach it from say - 5 degrees starboard, and it helps.
Even the crunch had a lil extra snap (IMHO)

Do you have to be a "youth" to appreciate it?
apparently not!

Oh I see that Friday is now Punday. So that being said, I'll put on my Punday best, and do my Berry Vest to keep in time with the rest of you.

That was a post. So if you make a wishy washy post that says nothing is that sitting on a fence post?
