lyrics
In the garden full of fire
Is the object of desire
True temptation, you can’t fight
Rip the fruit right off the vine
Take a taste of sweet persimmon
Take a chance on the forbidden
Spitting seeds and sugar venom
Choking on the pit of passion
Feelings that you can’t deny
Driving you out of your mind
Little whispers, little lies
Guilty without any crime
Doubled up with double vision
Poisoned by the contradiction
Straight to hell or straight to heaven
It’s a positive attraction
Take a taste of sweet persimmon
Take a chance on the forbidden
Spitting seeds and sugar venom
Choking on the pit of passion
Pain and pleasure, hand in hand
Feelings you don’t understand
You are burning with the touch
You can’t hold back, it’s all too much
In the garden full of fire
Is the object of desire
True temptation, you can’t fight
Rip the fruit right off the vine
Is the object of desire
True temptation, you can’t fight
Rip the fruit right off the vine
Take a taste of sweet persimmon
Take a chance on the forbidden
Spitting seeds and sugar venom
Choking on the pit of passion
Feelings that you can’t deny
Driving you out of your mind
Little whispers, little lies
Guilty without any crime
Doubled up with double vision
Poisoned by the contradiction
Straight to hell or straight to heaven
It’s a positive attraction
Take a taste of sweet persimmon
Take a chance on the forbidden
Spitting seeds and sugar venom
Choking on the pit of passion
Pain and pleasure, hand in hand
Feelings you don’t understand
You are burning with the touch
You can’t hold back, it’s all too much
In the garden full of fire
Is the object of desire
True temptation, you can’t fight
Rip the fruit right off the vine

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!!
