lyrics

Steel grey sky
It’s the middle of July
Just don’t ask why I can’t look you in the eye

Pebble dash rain
Flicker of old flame
Will an allotment keep me sane
Or will I lose the plot again?

Chase the voices from my head
Chase them living, chase them dead
Chase your sister from my bed
I never said I wanted this
Give me shovel, give me spade
Keep me warm on winter day
Give me vegetables and shed
I want salt of earth instead

There’s a hole in the side of my head
There’s a hole at the side of my bed
When I think of all the things that I said
I can see why you wanted me dead
There’s a hole in the side of your head
There’s a hole at the side of your bed
I go cold at the sight of the dead
Maybe all I need’s a new garden shed
