about

An ode to the joys of countryside.

lyrics

Baby let me take you for a walk in the park
You can climb on my ruins if you get in after dark
You're in need of love, need of affection
well step inside and browse around my collection
Preserving the best for the good of us
I'm donating myself to the national trust… n n national trust

Ye may live in tomorrow, live in today
But history is never very far away
So put down your GPS I'm obliged to say
And take a ride along the creases of my Ordnance survey
Preserving the best for the good of us
I'm donating myself to the national trust… n n national trust

Had a thorough day out, feel like I'm gonna drop
But then you drag me round the car park and through the gift shop
I'm creaking at the hinges and I'm cracking at the beams
Maybe English heritage is more your kind of scene
N n n National Trust…

When the modern world is getting you down
Look up Indigo jones or capability brown
There'll be no more dissatisfaction or long faces
Get your membership renewed on an annual basis
Preserving the best for the good of us
I'm donating myself to the national trust… n n national trust

Had a thorough day out, feel like I'm gonna drop
But then you drag me round the car park and through the gift shop
I'm creaking at the hinges and I'm cracking at the beams
Maybe English heritage is more your kind of scene
N n n National Trust…

Some pretty good times is what you deserve
But tread carefully baby, I keep my nature reserved
But let me kick off my shoes and get out my vest
Excavate this site of special scientific interest
Preserving the best for the good of us
I'm donating myself to the national trust… n n national trust

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
