about

Upon reading a book called 'Folk Medicine' inherited from my late grandmother, I realised that Apply Cyder Vinegar is a cure for pretty much anything. Just as well with those tory bastards in charge of the NHS.

lyrics

In the treasure troves of history
Some things have been lost from us
But in the long march to the future
Some wisdoms gotta bite the dust
And if you trawl the beds for knowledge
and persist then you may find
a bottle of cheap medicine
for mother, cow or child
Put a little on your supper, rub a little on at night..

Apple cyder vinegar from the apple tree
Apply cyder vinegar, won't you spend a little time with me
I tried some of the others, but it's plain to see
Apple cyder vinegar you're the only remedy

There's food out of the oceans, food out of the ground
don't count much for nothing unless you wash it down
with the cure for shingles, night sweats, or just because your lame
for man, woman or dog, the answers just the same
for impetigo, ringworm, or a listless horse....

Apple cyder vinegar from the apple tree
Apply cyder vinegar, won't you spend a little time with me
I tried some of the others, but it's plain to see
Apple cyder vinegar you're my only remedy

If you suffer from arthritis, or walk with a sullen gait
If you've messed with poison ivy or just simply overweight
Don't bother the busy NHS, take a prescription from me
Cos I seen the way that health care in the future's gonna to be
for a blockage in your bowels,  mastitis in your cows...

Apple cyder vinegar from the apple tree
Apply cyder vinegar, won't you spend a little time with me
I tried some of the others, but it's plain to see
Apple cyder vinegar you're my only remedy

So if I'm ramblin cross your land better give it to your hounds
Make em good and fierce and angry if they're gonna chase me from the grounds
And educate me just like happened in the good old times
That the bonuses are yours but the debts are all mine
it'll keep the flies from your herd, sir, help digest your lobster

Apple cyder vinegar from the apple tree
Apply cyder vinegar, won't you spend a little time with me
I tried some of the others, but it's plain to see
Apple cyder vinegar you're my only remedy

Julian Gaskell UK

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
