When Your Garden's Overgrown - Paul Weller

作词：Paul Weller/Simon Dine

作曲：Paul Weller/Simon Dine

Bobby's off on holiday

Away across the sea

Setting up his easel

A new scene to see

Says that he's had enough

Of standing in the rain

Now he's looking for the good life

With European pain

Did you know

Your garden's overgrown

And what is shown

Meeting all these pretty girls

Singing golden hair

He's in touch with the painter's mind

And Syd's unflinching stare

Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge

Sipping kaffee in Berlin

Might take in the coloured lights

In the city they call sin

He could see

The writing on the wall

Ten feet tall

Did you know

Your garden's overgrown

And what is shown

But oh there are times

He wished the world

Would fade just into sight

And oh the feelings that changed

Were thicker than the brush

Strokes of fame

Now he rides the dirt roads

Of old southern Spain

And when senoritas sing

He can hear them say

Did you know

Your garden's overgrown

And what is shown

He could see

The writing on the wall

Ten feet tall
