WHEN I WAS SINGLE MY POCKETS WOULD JINGLE
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
BUT
I MARRIED ME A WIFE AND SHE'S THE PEST OF MY LIFE
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
I SPENT ALL OF MY MONEY ON A VERY CHEAP RING
AND THEN SHE AND THE GOLDSMITH HAD A MIGHTY FINE FLING
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
BUT THEN MY WIFE SHE GOT SICK
AND I PRAYED THAT IT WAS QUICK
SO THAT I COULD BE SINGLE AGAIN
AND SURE ENOUGH MY WIFE SHE DIED
AND I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED
TO THINK I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
BUT
I MARRIED ME ANOTHER AND SHE'S THE DEVIL'S GRANDMOTHER
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
WELL SHE DID BEAT ME AND BANG ME
AND SHE SWORE SHE WOULD HANG ME
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
AND SHE LOOKED FOR A ROPE AND SHE FOUND HERSELF A ROPE
SHE FOUND HERSELF A ROPE AND SHE GREASED IT WITH SOAP
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
AND THEN SHE SEARCHED FOR A CHAIR
AND SHE FOUND HERSELF A CHAIR
SHE FOUND HERSELF A CHAIR
JUST TO KICK FROM UNDER ME THERE
AND I WISH I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
AND THEN SHE SEARCHED FOR A TREE
AND SHE FOUND HERSELF A TREE
SHE FOUND HERSELF A TREE FROM WHICH TO STRING ME
OH TO BE SINGLE AGAIN
BUT
THE BRANCH IT DID BREAK AND MY NECK DID ESCAPE
AND I WAS SINGLE AGAIN
SO YOUNG MEN TAKE A WARNING FROM THIS
BE GOOD TO THE FIRST CAUSE THE LAST IS MUCH WORSE
OH TO BE SINGLE AGAIN
BE GOOD TO THE FIRST CAUSE THE LAST IS MUCH WORSE
OH TO BE SINGLE AGAIN
BE GOOD TO THE FIRST CAUSE THE LAST IS MUCH WORSE
OH STAY SINGLE MEN

The Great Park Germany
Stephen Burch. Problem folk, songs with words.
"Ein Singer-Songwriter ist immer auch Poet. Und Burch ist ein ganz besonderer." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
The Great Park recommends:
Te he amado en un hotel en la calle del Divino Pastor - EP
by Fee Reega
Brilliant albums by the wonderful Fee Reega.
go to album
This epic Woodland Recordings compilation features myself and 49 other artists - over three hours of music, most of it exclusive to this collection. Crazy.
go to album
One of the most experimental and chaotically brilliant pieces of noise by seven good friends of mine.

For She Who Hangs The Moon
by David Luximon
Expansive music that has the gentle hush of ambient and the insistent pulse of post-rock; enveloping and absorbing.
go to album
A new single from David Luximon is mesmerizing and atmospheric, soulful vocals alternating with heartfelt spoken word.

Little By Little - LP
by Sodastream
Deeply-felt, folk-derived indiepop from Melbourne that balances lovely, quavering vocal melodies with twinkling acoustics.
