01Peaches Taste of Trumpets2:44
[Verse 1] You peeled a peach beside the grass And offered me the sunlit half I took a bite and heard the brass Come tumbling out behind your laugh The lemonade was pale trombone The bread had quite a steady beat I tried to tell you what was wrong You said I ought to take a seat [Refrain] Peaches taste of trumpets When you're sitting next to me Every little ordinary thing Is not what it should be I can hear the yellow I can feel a shade of blue Peaches taste of trumpets And I put it down to you [Verse 2] The ants were walking single file In trousers made of clarinet You brushed a crumb against my sleeve The softest cymbal I'd heard yet I asked if you could pass the salt It rang like bells between your hands You said perhaps it wasn't food And maybe I should make some plans [Bridge] No one else could hear a thing The afternoon was quite discreet But when you leaned across to kiss me All the colours left their seats [Final Refrain] Peaches taste of trumpets When you're sitting next to me Every little ordinary thing Is not what it should be I can hear the yellow I can feel a shade of blue Peaches taste of trumpets And I put it down to you

02The Pleasant Disturbance2:46
[Verse 1] The ladies made a semicircle Round a very serious pear The gentlemen discussed a subject That had never happened there Then someone in a purple waistcoat Took his shoes off on the lawn And moved as though his knees had heard A tune before the band came on [Chorus] What a pleasant disturbance What a terrible delight Someone has upset the afternoon And put the pieces right There's no need to call a doctor There's no need to clear the ground It's a pleasant disturbance Let it come around [Verse 2] The vicar tried a little turning The colonel gave a little hop The hostess said it wasn't proper But she didn't ask them to stop The pear was quite forgotten The little silver forks lay still A woman with a broken marriage Danced her way beyond the hill [Bridge] Nobody was invited To the place the music went But everyone arrived there Without knowing what it meant [Final Chorus] What a pleasant disturbance What a terrible delight Someone has upset the afternoon And put the pieces right There's no need to call a doctor There's no need to clear the ground It's a pleasant disturbance Let it come around The man retrieved his shoes at six And left without a sound
