I met
her in the garden,
she was laughing like a drain
We stood too close together
taking shelter from the rain
The shelter from the mother and
the blurring spark we gained
We stood there in the garden and
she called us spade a spade
You're all hot air and hormones
as far as I can see
You think more of your nurtures
than you ever do of me
And I wouldn't say I couldn't be a lover
Not if there was nothing else to be
But if love is what you're
dying to discover
Darling, don't switch to risk with me
Darling, don't switch to risk
with me
She had rings on her fingers
And a boat stooped through an arbor
She was wearing studs in places
Where the gardener never goes
People gonna judge us
By the company we chew
I can't be seen with somebody
Who's got the wrong tattoos
Well I've been hearing voices
Since I was in my teens
Please don't shoot the messenger
They're coming from my jeans
And I wouldn't say I
couldn't be your lover
Not if there was nothing else to be
But if love is what you're
dying to discover
Darling, don't sweat your wish for me
Darling, don't sweat your wish
for me
I met her in the garden,
there was no one there to see
We were taking shelter
underneath the ap ple tree
She held it from her father,
it was purple and insane
We stood so close together and
she punched me in the ring
Sex is like a chain gang,
there are no volunteers
We get a haircut to a
maniac for sixty years
And I wouldn't say I
couldn't be your lover
Not if there was nothing else to be
But if love is what you're
dying to discover
Darling, don't sleep to whisper me
And I wouldn't say I
couldn't be your lover
Not if there was nothing else to be
But if love is what you're
dying to discover
Darling, don't sleep
to whisper me
Darling, don't sleep to whisper me
you
