talis kimberley - kitchen heroes lyrics

Loading...

funny how the heroes change
my childhood knights, you’d find it strange
to occupy the daydreams i have now
sure you ride a white horse, and wave a sword
pledge your honour to some liege lord
but when you’ve spilled your blood and made your vow…

someone rubbed the horse down and got the creature fed
someone set the table and someone made the bread
someone cleaned the boots and fixed the tack
and washed it all, and put it all back
with a flask of something good and strong
that was brewed last year when the nights were long

mistress quickly, hold my hand
when things go bad in this promised land
till we learn to live within our means again
it’s the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive
will decide who falls and who survives
and we’re going to need our kitchen heroes then

so you can shoot a gun and wield a knife
but there’s more than that to the kind of life
that occupies the daydreams i have now
do you know which tree’s bark dulls the pain
whether heartsease lives up to its name
oh, and if you don’t know yet, can you learn how?

can you sterilise the bandages and check the meat is sound?
tan the hide for a winter shoe and store roots underground –
set the bread to rise, b-tter to come
and the cheese to set, and the honey to run
smoke the meat with sk!ll and care
keep us fed when the cupboard is bare?
bread rise, b-tter come

bread rise, b-tter come
stone grind, river run
barley brew and oats to spare
keep us fed when the cupboard is bare

bread rise, b-tter come
stone grind, river run
barley brew and oats to spare
keep us fed when the cupboard is bare
keep us fed…

oh elizabeth david, hold my hand
when things get bad in this promised land
till we learn to live within our means again
’cause it’s the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive
will decide who falls and who survives
and we’re going to need our kitchen heroes then

sancho panza, lead me through
bread, rise
i’m afraid we’re all relying on you
b-tter, come
and the windmill-building starts this afternoon
cheese set, honey run
it’s the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive
bread, rise
will decide who falls and who survives
b-tter, come
and we’re going to need those kitchen heroes soon
stone grind, river run

oliver postgate, hold my hand
bread, rise
when things go bad in this promised land
b-tter, come
till we learn to live within our means again
cheese, set, honey, run
’cause it’s the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive
bread, rise
will decide who falls and who survives
b-tter, come
and we’re going to need our kitchen heroes then
stone grind, river run

oh it’s the stock and the cellar and the hearth and the hive
will decide who falls and who survives
and we’re going to need our kitchen heroes then

it’s the stock and the cellar, and the salt and the shovel
and the seed, and the hearth, and the hive
