DOWN ON THE FARM


All I need is some inspiration 
Before I do somebody some harm 
I feel just like a vegetable 
Down here on the farm 

Nobody comes to see me 
Nobody comes to turn me on 
I don’t even have a lover 
Down here on the farm 

They told me to get healthy 
They told me to get some sun 
But boredom eats me like cancer 
Down here on the farm 

Drinking lemonade shandy 
There’s nothing here to do me harm 
I’m like a fish out of water 
Down here on the farm 

I write a thousand letters 
Till my fingers all get numb 
But I’ve never seen a postman 
Down here on the farm 

Called my baby on the telephone 
Said come down and have some fun 
But she knows what the score is 
Down here on the farm 

Can’t fall in love with wheat fields 
Can’t fall in love with a barn 
When everything smells of horse shit 
Down here on the farm 

Blue skys and swimming pools 
Have so much charm 
But I’d rather be back in Soho 
Than down on the farm
