Cocteau Twins - Pepper Tree - 1984 - (Lyrics - Remastered - 4AD)

This was a true challenge for lyrical deciphering. And it came together beautifully. This is a song about touring in a musical group. A sister song to Road River and Rail and Peppermint Pig where the topic of life on the road for the sake of music comes into focus. Gain sweets on Pepper-Tree. The Tree possibly being the metaphor for the 'money grows on trees' saying. The act of touring for money being an 'endless plight' on 'lonesome roads'. 'When loose or tight' means heading out on tour even when the money situation is loose and easy or tight and barely achievable.
