lyrics

The Green Apple Ball

Here come the girls again kissing for hours
Spilling and spinning the glitter ball flowers
One couple faceless blanked for art’s sake
And all that springs is summer

Dancers skip silently down helical stairs
Future and youth here strung out like pearls
Balloon man, juggler flicking out cards
And all that winds is sideways

And like every moment
This time won’t come again
The time to be twenty
And time out time again
At the green apple ball

Scrumping and bobbing, swirling apples in pairs
Man with the crystal ball dance round his hands
Candles, charity, parent and prayers
The sight of youth a-spending

And few know the way
And few hear the call
And some come of age
At the Green Apple Ball
At the splintered glass ball

Vertical power, Marxist, Feminist
It all got lost for the upper-class Communists
Now when you dance all in white you tune in to God

Crab apple sour, saline lemonade
A younger guitar, a fighting serenade
Feminine scents when you dance you turn into Gods

Here come the girls again kissing for hours
Painting, pressing, the glitter ball flowers
White linen faces blanked for art’s sake
And all that springs is summer
And all that winds is sideways
The sight of youth a-spending
The sound of judgement suspended
