Calvados Lyrics by Pete Doherty

Felt Better Alive

2025

There's an old cart horse with a wiry mane
\nPulls a cart along a country lane
\nBeen rolling since before the break of day
\nTending the orchard, stacking up the hay
\n
\nThe farmer sits holding the reigns
\nGuiding the cart through Normandy lanes
\nSlow and steady is the way!
\nThe way it was, the way it is, and the way it will remain...
\n
\nAnd the apples will grow
\nAnd into barrels will roll
\nSoon to become liquid gold
\nAnd the Calvados will flow
\n
\nIn the kitchen sits the farmer’s wife
\nPicking her teeth with a pocket knife
\nHer soul a mess of blues and chicken wire
\nShe brushes the dog, spits in the fire
\n
\nShe takes down the bottle, takes down the glass
\nAnd pours herself a tiny splash
\nOf the serum from the ancient sacred orchard's soil
\nPerfumed with the product of their blood, sweat, and toil, and so...
\n
\nThe apples will grow
\nThe barrels will roll
\nSoon to become liquid gold
\nThe Calvados will flow
\n
\nAnd the apples will grow
\nAnd into barrels will roll
\nSoon to become liquid gold
\nThe Calvados will flow\n\n
