lyrics
Our street’s a radish neighbourhood
We planted every seed we could
So it would lettuce turnip all the beets
We sent our roots deep underground
And new ideas bloomed all around
We’re all diggin’ living on our street
There’s goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street!
We started off by baking bread
And turned out baking bricks instead
The chickens reckon we’re out of control
Fixed up old and rusty bikes
Now we cycle where we like
Getting by for free is how we roll
With the goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street!
Our garden’s now immense
Cos we pulled down the fence
Well, that might sound intense
But we’re friends with common sense
Cos there’s goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street
There’s so much goodness growing on our street
So come on and lets all grow it on our street!
We planted every seed we could
So it would lettuce turnip all the beets
We sent our roots deep underground
And new ideas bloomed all around
We’re all diggin’ living on our street
There’s goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street!
We started off by baking bread
And turned out baking bricks instead
The chickens reckon we’re out of control
Fixed up old and rusty bikes
Now we cycle where we like
Getting by for free is how we roll
With the goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street!
Our garden’s now immense
Cos we pulled down the fence
Well, that might sound intense
But we’re friends with common sense
Cos there’s goats and chickens
Bees and birds and fruit growing on the trees
We’re not perfect, but we do have everything we need
Milk and honey, vegetables so many tasty treats
It’s all right here, growing on our street
There’s so much goodness growing on our street
So come on and lets all grow it on our street!

Each piece on this album is like a separate tincture -- and so many different effects rendered. I'm obsessed with every single song on this album.

Wedding modern electronic beats to 1930's musical styles like jazz and big band, this Belgian band put a unique spin on nostalgic escapism.
