LOVELY FRUIT
©2024 Tim Tedder
I'm gonna tell you somethin'
Your pitchman is a liar
This path that you are walkin'
Will take you through the fire
I know it feels like heaven
That's what the promos say
I bought the pitch myself once
Watched promise slip away
This is the best you've ever had
Your old life is a joke
You finally won the big prize
Oops - the lottery's broke
Chorus:
Pick from the tree
Bite its lovely fruit
(let the juice flow down)
Muddy the soil
Poison the root
Pick from the tree
Bite its lovely fruit
(feel the juice run down)
Muddy the soil
Poison the root
You think you're gonna make it
When others didn't last
They may have missed the boarding
Your ticket is first-class
Sit back, enjoy the ride
Sip down another gin
Dream of where you're going
Forget where you have been
This is the best you've ever had
Your old life is a joke (tell yourself)
You finally won the big prize
Oops - the lottery's broke
(Chorus)
I know you're not listening
Nobody knows like you
I hope you wake up soon enough
I hope your bridge won't burn
You can go the hard way
Or take a different turn
(Chorus)
I know you're not listening
Nobody knows like you

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
