lyrics

She’ll give you the razor. She’ll give you the knife.
She’ll even help you make the cut, and then ask for her bite.
She’s no good. She’s trashy, wrapped up in her greed.
The rotten apple of my eye can see the weak spot in me.

She says ‘give me a penny’, ‘give me a pound’.
‘Ach, give me your wallet; need to buy another round’.
She says ‘I’ll loan you my heart, if you sell me your soul’
She was my first Queen of everything. I was only her last fool.

She’ll blind you with passion, when she gives you the eye.
She’s a muse. Yes, she’s a harridan, past mistress of the lie.
She’ll Love you, she’ll relieve you of all honour and shame.
The rotten apple of my eye can see I Love her all the same.

Junkman's Choir are a two man band with a global sound; playing a mix of Cajun, country sea shanties, rockin' reels and spinning some twists and turns on the works of Rabbie Burns.
The sound of accordion, pocket trumpet, guitar and vocals, is as unique as it is infectious.
Look out for them on street or stage, stomping out their steel-toed rhythm. ... more
