about

This track is one of fourteen from the 2019 album, “Memoirs of Hakeford Wart”, issued by the Toronto-based label, Strawberry Rain - a 3LP, expanded version of the now extremely rare album of the same name, self-published in Cape Town, South Africa, by Peter Wale in 1972.

lyrics

RABBIT ROW

Live, love, but think of tomorrow,
For livin' and lovin' can lead you to sorrow,
When you've only got one square yard
To live and love on, to live and love on.

You know, just the other day,
The man told me that the only way
To settle my future was to have five kids
To fight my battles, to fight my battles.

The man, he's got all the answers;
He makes all the wars and takes all the chances.
But, behind the scenes, he never, never, never gets killed,
But he's a hero, he's a hero.

And, if you can trust the man,
Have all those kids, have as many as you can.
And, in the end, when we all get killed,
You'll be a hero, you’ll be a hero.

Peter Wale Ithaca, New York

Coming to the US in 1974 to further my songwriting aspirations cost me dear. “Your stuff won't sell “, US labels said. Well, this one, taken from the 4-song LP of a concert I gave in 1972, DID. 300 3-LP vinyl sets of the FULL concert were re-issued in 2019 and sold out (I've yet to be paid, BTW, and kinda late in the game). Could've seen that coming, I guess.
