Apple Cider Re-Constitution Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
When we came to the station, all the trains were rusty
The doors were open and the windows broken in
There was grass in all the cracks and the air hung musty
The travel posters were flappin' in the windSo, we moved through the dust and gloom
Playin' waiting games in the waiting room
Lay our sleepin' bags out on the floorAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to me
With apple cider, leave me here without a place to goIf I followed the coast road, I'd be home by evenin'
The harbor lights still cut across the bay
From the slot machine arcade the lights go streamin'
To the bikes outside the rock 'n roll cafeAh, but you know those small town blues

Are really too much to lose
There's nothin' really there to go back forAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to me
With apple cider, leaves me here without a place to goAny railway station would be just fine, fine, fine
To settle down and wash the cobwebs from your head
Oh, if your situation's runnin' dry, dry, dry
Find a waiting room beneath the stars to make your bedYou know London can make your brain stall
The streets get cold and empty on a rainy night, so you duck
Into the subway station, you can hear the trains call, they wanna
Take you to the Earl's Court Road but it don't seem right'Cause there's na na na noowah on the jukebox
Singin' in the burger bar, see the people's faces
In the passin' cars don't want to knowAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to me
With apple cider, leaves me here without a place to goYou have the most appealing surface I have seen
Bring it over here, lay it down by me
Don't mean to make you nervous, I just mean
To make you see, this is the place to beWhen we came to the station, all the trains were rusty
The air was empty and the platforms overgrown
There were old tin cans and cats and the doors were crusted
With mud and leaves and names carved long agoAnd the rails go on forever in a silver trail
To the setting sun, you can follow them
Anywhere you want to goAnd on Sunday mornin', easy rider comes to me
With apple cider, leaves me here without a need to know

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year Of The Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

Stewart grew up in the coastal resort town of Bournemouth, Dorset. According to Songfacts, in days of youthful folly Stewart played in a beat group with later BBC DJ Tony Blackburn before moving to the capital to seek fortune and fame.

Having bought his first guitar from future Police guitarist Andy Summers, Stewart traded in his electric guitar for an acoustic guitar when he was offered a weekly slot at Bunjies Coffee House in London's Soho in 1965. From there, he went on to compete at the Les Cousins folk club on Greek Street, where he played alongside Cat Stevens, Bert Jansch, Van Morrison, Roy Harper and Ralph McTell

Although he had his share of the breaks, including a tenure at Bunjees coffee house and a record deal with CBS, life wasn't always easy for the young troubadour; his first serious love affair ended in disaster, and he experienced all the usual insecurities of the stranger in the big city trying to find his way.

In January 1970, Melody Maker named his second release Love Chronicles its Folk Album Of The Year, but in spite of his obviously carving out quite a name for himself, it was not until Year Of The Cat - the single and even more so the monster album - that he really shot to fame.

He emigrated to the United States as his career took off in the mid 1970s, and still lives in California. While studio albums are now few and far between, he still tours extensively in the United States, and, most years, in Europe. Recordings of concerts are often made available through his fan clubs.
