lyrics

(Peckham Rye)

My mother sends me photographs of light I cannot use
Lagos in October, forty degrees of gold
And I send back a common and a grey September sky
And a man selling mangoes outside Peckham Rye

Peckham Rye (Peckham Rye)
He knows my order, Peckham Rye
Same as her market woman, Peckham Rye
Peckham Rye

Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye
I found the same mango in a different country
Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye
And that is how a person makes a home

She came in June. I was afraid of what she'd see.
She bought four mangoes off him and they talked for twenty minutes
in a language I have lost half of, and she said "this one is fine."
(LOG DRUM RETURNS)

Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye
I found the same mango in a different country
Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye, Peckham Rye
And that is how a person makes a home

(Peckham Rye...)
