This video was shot on a shoe-string budget by the band and stars a French-Italian actress. It tells the tale of a liberated woman that steals away to get high on life in the rye fields of a country town.
Lyrics
It’s not easy for me to be so cold When she fights for the right to be so bold She’s obsessed with the kiss of cannabis She said, “Don’t make a fuss come into my bliss.” It’s a festival for the dead And a requiem for the head When it’s all said and done She puts me on the run And I’m left here sinking in sorrow instead There’re battles and wars And kingdoms fought A misfit for more . . . She’s what I’ve caught So, make up your mind Don’t be so shy . . . “Your advice is unkind” Catch her in the rye (Instrumental) (Repeat Chorus 2X) “Comin thro’ the rye, poor body Comin thro’ the rye She draigl’t a her petticoatie Comin thro’ the rye”
