One of the best songs about beetroot I've heard

Theme song for BeatRoute, called BeatRoute, composed and performed by the two members of BeatRoute. BeatRoute play ocarina, piano, singing, voices, bass, guitar, floor tom and electronic big maraccas. It is our self-titled BeatRoute band song.

Written and recorded in Torquay June 2022, after many years.

Regularly plant beetroot
				Beginning at 6am
Optimistically wait
				Every year the same 
Usually the rains come
				All the way up north
Turning round the sun
				To the Diri door

Each one person knows about it 
Thanks for sharing thoughts 
Beetroot truth beats sticks today



Reading maps of paper
				Boiling, roasted soup
Oh dear the well water
				Eaten grated cakes
Underwater flip-flops gone
				Abnormal coprolite
Teatime with pine Martens
				Treating everyone’s shite

Each one person knows about it 
Thanks for sharing thoughts 
Beetroot truth beats sticks today
Beetroot truth beats sticks today

I trod dirt
I tried to bet
I’d ride to Diri
To be beetroot

That’s the truth

The angel smiled for she had become human

He Messaged Me at Like Five Past One
Nankivell/Fisher
Performed by Freya Nankivell, Leith Dockers Club, 6/4/23

He messaged me at like
Five past one
I kept him waiting like
Hours

I knew that we were like
Over and done
Oh, how the sweetest thing
Sours

He rang again at like
Eight, nine and ten
Each time, increasingly
Vexed

I could not answer with
Honesty when
He asked me this in his
Text:


"Where is the girl who ran rings round my routines
Who upturned my habits
And saw me afresh
Is she there now?
Where is she now?

Where is the girl who blessed and forgave me
Gave me absolution
For sins of the flesh
Is she there now?
Where is she now?"

I messaged him on like
Friday night
I'd kept him waiting like
Days

That girl you remember
She is all right
And thriving in so many
Ways:

"I'm guessing she wanted a sense of excitement
The thrill of the unknown
Where mystery lies
She is there now
She is there now

I’m guessing she wanted you to save her something
To hold something back
And spring some surprise
She is there now
Happily, now"

He Messaged Me At Like Five Past One (live)
