These Apples Lyrics - Rock Spectacle (live) - Barenaked Ladies

A friend brought me flowers, she said they were lilacs 

I've never been good with plants 

Her next presentation, a new dictionary 

She circled the word "romance" 

So enthusiastic, a little bit drastic 

I shaved her name in my head 

As she beheld it, she said I misspelled it 

Need more be said? 

These apples are delicious 

"As a matter of fact they are," she said 

Can all this fruit be free?

She wrote me a letter, as big as a phone book 

I've never been big on mail 

I sent her a postcard from somewhere near Lethbridge 

And wondered if it still went by rail 

I've never been frightened of being enlightened 

But some things can go too far 

Though sometimes I stammer or mix up my grammar 

You get what my meanings are 

These apples are delicious 

"As a matter of fact they are," she said 

Can all this fruit be free?

I'm not trying to sing a love song 

I'm trying to sing in tune 

I know I am sometimes headstrong 

Falling in love, catching fire 

I want to be consumed 

Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire? 

These apples are delicious 

"As a matter of fact they are," she said 

Can all this fruit be free?
