Wooden songs

[Twilkes]

Do they have to be pop songs?

How about songs like Hearts of Oak or the Holly and the Ivy?

They could be nursery rhymes as long as some of the words were wood related.

Against The Grain?

Against The Grain?

Ah well in that case how about the old wood burning poem

Beech-wood fires burn bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year;
Store your beech for Christmastide
With new-cut holly laid beside;
Chestnut's only good, they say,
If for years 'tis stored away;
Birch and fir-wood burn too fast
Blaze too bright and do not last;
Flames from larch will shoot up high,
Dangerously the sparks will fly;
But ash-wood green and ash-wood brown
Are fit for a Queen with a golden crown.

Oaken logs, if dry and old,
Keep away the winter's cold;
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke;
Elm-wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold;
It is by the Irish said;
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread,
Apple-wood will scent the room,
Pear-wood smells like flowers in bloom;
But ash-wood wet and ash-wood dry
A King may warm his slippers by.

Why, that would be ideal.

'Older' by George Michael?

And if you were wondering what this was about, the finished version is here - will be pressed onto a one-off 7" vinyl in time for Christmas.
