lyrics

I moved into a new home
there's a garden out at the back
with my suitcase it's time to unpack
I am here to stay until I have found my way

In the garden out at the back, there are plants, things I don't know
I met some parrots I think they followed me from the other side of the world

Only the parrots in London know, where they have come from
They know yes they know where they have come from
They know yes they know where they belong

Some say they came from Spain
Some say they came with the rain
Some say they escaped from Jimi Hendrix's cage

Only the parrots in London know, where they've come from
They know yes they know where they have come from
They know yes they know where they belong

They look after me on my way home
Make sure I don't roam alone
I see them fly, they give me hope

Only the parrots in London know, where they have come from

Zoe has such a pure voice. I have only heard one song, which I mixed, with the Honeybees. I look forward to hearing this CD. briankutscher

HOLD FAST
by Stick In The Wheel

I usually haaaate autotune voices, but done this way it's brilliant. When enough craftsmanship is used. Hard to pick a favourite from this great album. One of my favourites of the year! soundofperpetualastonishment

Lammas Fair
by Henry Parker

supported by 5 fans who also own “Parrots in London”

Psych-folk with a late 60s / early 70s flavour. If you like Nick Drake or Fairport Convention you will enjoy this. It's an observation of change and a celebration of a hazy, high summer harvest. The music transports you to the moorlands and mill towns of Northern England. Dark and open and embellished with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. This is album of the year 2021 for me. distant planet
