About the Artist

The Fall

The Fall

Lyrics

Garden

The first God had in his garden

From the back, looked like a household pet

But when it was twirled 'round

Was revealed to be a 3 legged black grey hog

See what flows from his mushy pen

Garden, garden

That person is films on TV

5 years back at least

He's the "Young Generation" dancing troupe

Trying to perform country and western

Do a dance here

Never since birth not eaten in a day

Never since courtship stayed up some nights

He had the 'Kingdom of Evil' book

Under a German history book

He was contrived like that

See what flows from his slushy pen

Garden, garden

Small, small location on huge continet

Sodomized by presumption

Contrieved a past revealed at last

Godzone, godzone

Godzone, godzone

(...his ferry stopped at 'Pool port. revealed to be spolit

Slate with largesse resource

Wild Bill hick, shaves and charts at last, made the second God sad -

He's coming up...)

Shotgun, shotgun

Shotgun, shotgun

The best firms advertise the least

The second God lives by fountains

That flowed  by the blue shiny lit roads

Had forgot what others still try to grasp

He knew the evil of the phone

He knew the evil of the phone

The bells stopped on Sunday when he rose

The bells stopped on Sunday when he rose

He's here, he's here, at last

I saw him! I swear!

On the second floor

Up on the brown baize lift shaft

He's here! He's here at last!

I saw him! I swear!

A jew on a motorbike
