 Words & Music By Steven Page
 Words & music by ed robertson
 A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs
 But i've never been good with plants
 Her next presentation, a new dictionary
 She'd circled the word "romance"
 So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic
 I shaved her name in my head
 And as she beheld it, she said i misspelled it;
 Need more be said!
 Chorus:
 These apples are delicious!
 "as a matter of fact they are," she said
 Can all this fruit be free?
 She wrote me a letter as big as a phonebook
 I've never been big on mail
 I sent her a postcard from somewhere near lethebridge
 And wondered if it still went by rail
 I've never been frightened of being enlightened
 But some things can go too far
 Though sometimes i stammer and mix up my grammar,
 You get what my meanings are
 Chorus
 I'm not trying to sing a love song -- i'm trying to sing in tune.
 I know i am sometimes headstrong
 Falling love, catching fire -- i want to be consumed
 Wondering will i ever tire, will i ever tire!
 Chorus
