Twigs And Seeds Lyrics - Seems Like Only Yesterday: Live In Montreal 1976 - Jesse Winchester

Well, when I got home from work last night 

I headed straight for my stash 

'Cause I wanted some of my private blend 

Which is two parts grass to one part hash 

Well, when I got to my little secret hiding place 

And I checked out my little plastic bag 

Well, there wasn't a speck of that nice leaf left 

And I felt my whole spirit sag 

There's nothing but twigs and seeds 

Twigs and seeds 

And they sure don't deliver the punch 

That this ole head needs

So I phoned up my old connection and I said 

"Look, Richard, this is an emergency, man 

Look, I have just discovered that I am 

Fresh out of that herb that's so dear to me 

You know what I mean man?" 

He said, Look, Jesse, I'd like to help you, man" 

Said, "I'm in business to supply you with the 

weed, you know 

But the man just busted a whole huge shipment 

of mine 

And now everyone in town's smokin' 

twigs and seeds" (that's right) 

There's nothing but twigs and seeds 

Twigs and seeds 

And they sure don't deliver the punch 

That this old head needs 

So you have morning glory seeds and nutmeg 

And LSD and model airplane glue 

And peyote buttons an' Methedrine, Benzedrine, 

Hexedrine 

Someone said banana peels would do 

Let us say the use of these various hallucinogrens 

Was somehow no longer a legal misdeed 

Well, man, I still think there ought to be some 

sort of law 

About possession of nothin' but twigs and seeds 

There's nothing but twigs and seeds 

Twigs and seeds 

And they sure don't deliver the punch 

That this old head needs
