Option to Buy

Everyone kicks the tyres
Everyone samples the goods
Some folks even start
With the last page of the book
So what’s with all the rush
To get that old knot tied
When we can always rent
With the option to buy

You’ve ate that piece of fruit
Took it and never paid
You scored a second scoop
While the manager’s away
You don’t have to worry
Let me tell you why
You can always rent
with the option to buy

They say the best things in life are free
So why oh why would you marry me
A rolling contract not tied in
We’ll be just as happy living in sin

The Ball’s not too heavy
The chain’s not too tight
We can always rent
With the option to buy

You would if you could don’t lie
Let me tell you why
We can always rent
With the option to buy

Just the most fun. Every set is one I want to sit down and learn, and they play with so much ENERGY and STYLE. Crunchy, tangible sound. I'll never get tired of listening to Kinnaris Quintet play. andpersand

I loved the songs and stories on the Very Interesting Persons album and this EP features some great songs that didn't quite fit on the album but are equally as good. Mark French

Thanks for "Red Kites". Well, the whole album actually. Saw an Uncut magazine review out here in the southern Utah dust and thought I should give it a listen. Glad I did. Jerry Cooney
