Classic BOC! Dark lyrical humor, rolling rhythm section, plus guitar tone to die for.

This song make me hungry. *Lawyer leans in and whispers story behind song*. I withdraw that last statement.

@gchadder3 Sounds just like the kind of obscure evil BOC loves to write about.

Yes, I still have my vinyl record of this great work by BOC!
-
It is greatly nice to be able to pull up this vintage BOC material but it would be nice, for continuity purposes that BOC incorporated into its early works, to be able to pull down the entire album, especially this one!

Wizard, great of you to post this album. It's my favorite BOC album by far, but mine wore out many years ago and I haven't replaced it. All the songs are pure genius - but this one stands out. The lyrics are deathly, Bloom's voice is at its sinister best and Buck's guitar soars masterfully. "A ripe and ready grave..." How did they think this stuff up?

The song is about a lovely young woman who murders her suitors and buries them in her orchard (quicklime speeds the decomposition of corpses and fertilizes the ground they lay in), selling the harvest that ripens upon their graves. Think about that next time you bite into an apple...
