Stolen Apples is the twenty fifth album by Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly[1] and was released in July, 2007 on EMI Music. The album is Kelly's first solo album since Ways & Means in 2004, and features religious themes throughout.

The song "You're 39, You're Beautiful and You're Mine" was a Kelly song originally written for Tex, Don and Charlie (Tex Perkins, Don Walker and Charlie Owen)

"Tex and I were doing a gig in Melbourne at the Famous Spiegeltent and Paul was playing later on the same day. After our gig, we were standing around and Paul was saying how much he loved the old album. - Owen
"We said, 'Oh yeah, we're doing a new one. You haven't got any songs, have you?' A few days later, he turns up at my house with a little cassette." - Perkins[2]

The song was subsequently included on their 2005 album All is Forgiven.

"Tex sang it beautifully and we had to work to find a way to reclaim the song that didn't just sound like an imitation of their version. We tried it three or four different ways and had almost given up on it until we hit on doing it as a waltz. Now my favourite line in the song is the one where Tex changed the lyric to improve on what I had written." - Kelly[3]
