When Your Garden's Overgrown Lyrics

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 - [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-your-gardens-overgrown-lyrics-paul-weller.html ] He could see The writing on the wall - Ten feet tall 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
