Chinese Fried Rice​(​Lydia)

from Birthday Songs by Nina Hynes

about

This was a birthday present for my friend Lydia.
It is very personal to her use of language in her food blog, our experiences of NYE fireworks when her hair going on fire and my daughter's relationship with her(my daughter's favorite dish of hers is Chinese Fried Rice).

lyrics

Silky sweet sour stewed-plum
Fireworks and apple cinnamon
The crispy cold air, the fire in your hair
Your drawings and the king of oyster

Lydia, Lydia Lydia
Lydia, Lydia Lydia
You’re just so full of surprises

Cherries and peaches, no gluten
So long as we don’t talk about Putin
The little bets we make
The spongey cakes you bake
So long as you don’t cook me steak

Lydia, Lydia Lydia
Lydia, Lydia Lydia
You’re just so full of surprises

Chinese fried rice
We’re picking out lice
You’re walking me from school
You’re so styleee and so cool

Lydia, Lydia Lydia
Lydia, Lydia Lydia
You’re just so full of surprises

I have been releasing records since 1999. The internet has freed things up considerably. I do like it for that.
