What do you do
When you're living alone
Try to save money
So you're spending more time at home
You go to work, go to the gym
And you're living off tins of spaghetti
Oh, maybe it's time I did things differently
Got a little adventurous
It's good for me
So I try something different like
Jerusalem Artichoke
'Cause I could be simple or safe
Make the same things that I always make
Or I could try something new
Someone more like you
Although I've never tried this before
It could be fun and I want to explore
Baby, you could be the best thing I've ever had
I'm trying you out, breathing you in
You got a different flavour
To all the rest that have been
And when I'm heating you up
I want to heat you up some more
Oh, who would've thought
I'd find a delicacy
Something a little sweet that is good for me
Yeah, I've found something new in my
Jerusalem Artichoke
Baby, you could be
The one thing that I need
To sweeten up my life
And finally make me see
That maybe I could change
Get out of my old ways
Now I've had a taste
I'll never be the same
Simple, safe, make the things I always make
Try it new, someone more like you
Jerusalem Artichoke was written by Xani.
Jerusalem Artichoke was produced by Myles Mumford.
Xani released Jerusalem Artichoke on Sun Sep 17 2017.
Written while walking home from the fruit and veggie shop. I remember thinking about metaphors for songwriting and how absurd one could really get?
I settled on Jerusalem Artichokes as my metaphor – a hardy, heart, underestimated and undervalued vegetable from the sunflower family.
