David Gedge is the song writer and front man for a British indie band called "The Wedding Present". Often his songs are a sometimes painfully personal look at love, warts and all.
But here he's singing about apple pie. It's a metaphor for covert assassinations by the CIA. The poison they used tasted a bit like apples, so they'd put it into something that already tasted like apples to mask the taste.
Really, I included him because I wanted an excuse to put a song about pie in here. I am rather partial to The Wedding Present though.
Even though he's not singing about unrequited love right at this moment, you can still see the pain writ large on his face.
He wants that pie. He wants it. He wants it so badly. Comfort eating probably. His last girlfriend's now going out with his best mate.
Category 3. Steak and ale. On it's way.
