Cover art for Johnny Appleseed lyrics by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros

" seen the music video for "Johnny Appleseed" and it's Joe and the boys walking through a foreign country where the market is on the street". Don't know the exact location but it looks a bit like Camden to me. Not foreign to Senor Strummer.

Anyway, I think this song is summed up by the chrous "If you're after getting the honey, Then you don't go killing all the bees". Its clearly about the sad decline of beekeeping in inner London and the direct impact on prices of honey in Islington.
