lirik lagu guy blackman - the backyard
[verse 1]
i look out at the backyard
and see nothing but weeds and dirt
i think of all the times that i promised
i’d roll up my sleeves and get to work
[chorus]
one day, i swear i’ll
grab those old shears
cut back the bamboo
and sweep up all the leaves
next week, for certain
if it’s not too hot, i’ll
clean out the gutters
and clear away the lot
[post~chorus]
all the lot
[verse 2]
each night the mosquitos
come calling in searching of blood
i know the drain is overflowing
but i do nothing to stem the flood
[chorus]
some day, i swear i’ll
clear out all the muck
broom the bushes
and get our side path back
call up the council
or organize a [?][2:10]
all those dead branches
i’ll take them to the tin
[post~chorus]
to the tin
[instrumental break]
when you were out at the doctors
i wanted to make you proud
in garden clothes and an old hat
striding promptly into the yard
[chorus]
but what’s that sound?
that movement in the pile?
that lumpy shape?
that pain in my ankle?
if i’d just done
a little now and then
this jungle above me
would never appear
[outro]
