Two more songs from 'Pretties For You. Don't worry - we have almost finished this album!!!

Track #11 on the album is 'Apple Bush', and like the other songs on the album, it is very much a product of its' time

Alice Cooper - Vocals & Harmonica
Neal Smith - Drums and Vocals
Dennis Dunaway - Bass and Vocals
Glen Buxton - Lead Guitar
Michael Bruce - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Piano and Organ

11/13/ Apple Bush (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



"But over in a land that's in my back yard
There's a people who succeed, they don't try hard

Well, they found a way to live with ease
By eating from the bush instead of the trees

Apple bush, apple tree
Path to eternity
Find you a path and you follow the call

Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance you may fall

Well, over in a corner, standing there
Telling my house that they haven't a single care

But my house does not listen (worry) it's got a path of it's own
Yet the bush, and a tree, never leave it alone

Apple Bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Find you a path and you buy with a call

Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance you may fall

Someday like my house you're going to chose too
If you cut this new path well the old one will do
and you live with the people who live with ease
The red apple bush, the blue apple tree "


Track #12, is 'Earwigs To Eternity', and it is a strange on! Presumably the fast section is supposed to conjure up the image of an earwig skitting around

One of the names used by the band, before they settled on Alice Cooper, was The Earwigs - a parody of The Beatles

12/13/ Earwigs To Eternity (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)



[I] "Oh, four years long
And oh, what a song to hear, my dear
Four long years
Now we start to hear a whisper

Alice Cooper
All of the time we have
All of the time we had you
All of the time we have
All of the time we have

We are throwing all of our hands so high
You out there
[two voices at the same time]
Singing (playing) ditties (lovely) beautiful song (what a little song)
for you to be aware

Oh what a time we have
All of the time we have you
Oh what a time we have
All of the time we have
All of the time we have you

You're the one you're looking for
Let me in, let me in
Who's there, who's there, who's there "
