Recorded separately by individual members of the band during the COVID-19 pandemic.

lyrics

He's peripheral for a reason
when he's out taking the sunlit breeze in
If he tells you he loves you, you can believe him
Honesty must be so freeing.

He's strong, and he knows
how he'll take the next blows
his nose curls into a rose

Just wants to blend in
Didn't ask for no attention
If you were to ask any one of those ancients in Denton:
'He's so far from heaven,
he dismisses divine intention.'
I reckon that that's the consensus
But ask anybody whose word's worth a mention
Ronnie's a rhododendron.

Licorice for lunch
then headed back to bed
He wants a life where he bites off
more than a breath

Black curls fall tight to the saintly head
they part so tame to a knowing hand
What's life but pain
that friends and art can amend
when I get up to meet them?

Just wants to blend in
Didn't ask for no attention
If you were to ask any one of those ancients in Denton:
'He's so far from heaven,
he dismisses divine intention.'
I reckon that that's the consensus
But ask anybody whose word's worth a mention
Ronnie's a rhododendron.
