lyrics

some seed it fell on a rocky place
among the thorns and thistles and those radio waves
and the birds they feasted the brambles they did fall
at that virgin seed if it sprouted up at all

please oh please would you take care of me
between the devil and the deep blue sea

got a stack of records more like a sunday school
and a summer of love that is only for fools
yeah and fools we are fools we'll surely be
till sweet hallelujahs reign down over me

oh holy sower your spirit and heart
bound up the concrete around my steely little heart
thirty three and a third that will be the cure for you
you can drop the needle right down in the groove
