Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below, ’til the rain comes tumbling down.


Pulling weeds and pickin’ stones, man is made of dreams and bones,
Feel the need to grow my own. ’cause the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature’s chain,
To my body and my brain to the music from the land


Plant your rows straight and long, thicker than with pray’r and song
Mother Earth will make you strong if you give her love and care
Old crow watchin’ hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I’m as free as that feathered beak up there.


Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless the seeds I sow.
Someone warm them from below, ’til the rain comes tumbling down.

Come on take my hand come on little stranger
The spirits are angry stay away from danger
This is insanity this could be the end
This is insanity farewell my friend

In the garden of serenity In the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity In the garden of serenity

Meet me in the graveyard we’ll walk among the dead
On a midnight odyssey riding in my head

I’m not your enemy girl, i’m your friend
Come with me on a journey on a journey to the end

In the garden of serenity in the garden of serenity
In the garden of serenity in the garden of serenity

I look inside at the scarlet room
Places to hide in the dusty gloom
A noisy clock and a silver spoon

A china cup on the mantlepiece
Gathering dust as it did in the east
And just outside lies the garden of peace

Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening

Inside this world it’s beautiful
Peace in this garden has come true

A mirror pond reflects the dawn
Over the banks, ‘cross the emerald lawn
A breeze has come and I’m carried along

So follow the path through the knowing trees
And each time you laugh, it is love you release
That love will come back in the garden of peace

So, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening

Inside this world it’s beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true

Oh, tell me is this really true
Can it be, peace has come to me and you
Tell me over, over and over
Tell me is this really happening

Inside this world it’s beautiful
Peace in the garden has come true …

Oh I only had enough of you
Oh I did not ask for nothing else
But you’ve gone and found a one-way out
I stand here by myself
Oh I see a man he’s got a broken arm
I don’t know if I care
Follow him into the garden of hate
Everybody’s going to be there
It’s been some time since I last saw you
Can somebody here please tell me why
So many things I just don’t understand
No matter how I try
A girl I know got quite cut up one night
I don’t know if I care
She was in my garden of hate
So many others are there

Garden of hate
Ha Haha garden of hate
Garden of hate
Ha haha garden of hate

Here I am, a black-eyed bird, remaining silent.
I simply watch, your little life from high above.
Wanting to call you, wanting to sing,
Inside your ears and lips and eyes and soul,
I dig my grave, behind the gates of Babylon.

There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

Here I stand, a serpent queen of the garden.
I’m beckoning, but you ignore my siren song.
Oh I long, to touch you, to step inside your sacred gate.
I’ll dig my grave in the middle of golden bible snake.

There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

The black-eyed bird is dying,
The queen is dead,
She’ll never step foot in Eden.

There’s a Garden of Eden
In your distant heart,
Garden of Eden
In your earthly arms.

There’s a garden in my room
Would you like to take a look
There are fascinating things you’ll find there
If you dare to come inside
There is nothing I will hide
Come where there is sweet perfume
In the garden in my room
There’s a garden in my room
It has apples sweet and ripe
If you’d like to have a taste
I’ll let you
Cherries red as they could be
Such amazing things you’ll see
Everything is in full bloom
In the garden in my room
It’s not far I can take you there
Where the air is cool and dry
Lay your head on my flower bed
And I promise you will never
Ever want to say goodbye
There’s a garden in my room
Would you like to take a look
Rest your body on my velvet roses
Once you’ve tasted my delights
Many days will turn to nights
There is nothing you won’t do
For the garden in my room

We took this trip to garden grove
It smelt like lou dog in the van
This ain’t no reggae party $5 at the door
Get so real sometimes who wrote my rhymes
I got the microwave got the vcr I got the duece duece
in the trunk of my car
If you only knew that all the love that I found
It’s hard to keep my soul on the ground
You’re a fool don’t you fuck around with my dog
All I can see I steal as I fill up my garage
But my mind music from jamaica
All the love that I found, pull over there’s a reason
why my soul is unsound
It’s you it’s that shit stuck under my shoe
It’s that smell inside the van
It’s my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on the freeway
Feeling depressed every day
Leaving without making a sound
Pickin up my dog at the pound
Livin in a tweeker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying I’m happy when I’m not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
They’re waiting para tu.

the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nausously quick
i don’t question
our existence
i just question
our modern needs
i will walk…with my hands bound
i will walk…with my face blood
i will walk…with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone
after all is done
we’re still alone
i won’t be taken
yet i’ll go…
i will walk…with my hands bound
i will walk…with my face blood
i will walk…with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone
i don’t show…
i don’t share…
i don’t need
what you have to give…

I love to waltz with a man in a dark linen suit
All alone — at a party with someone I knew
From a time gone by — turned to stone


You could be Garbo or even Marlene
You could be Marilyn…
Or you could forget


I play the part but then all of us do
And I do it so well as I do it to you
In this town full of strangers
In this town full of fools


Venus doesn’t glitter when she stands next to you
When you’re waltzing through stardom
You miss what you lose


Lose yourself in a silvery dress
For you think you must do what you feel you do best
And you musn’t give it up for you’re still but a guest


You could be Garbo or even Marlene…
Or you could forget

She tears the hole of even wider
Its all the darkness up inside her
Holy old yeah
Your mine your everything is mine
With or without a doubt
Where the fuck were you when my lights went out
Yah you don’t want to look at it
Nah hey….whoa
Yah you don’t want to look at it
Wow
With or without a doubt
C’mon and let me out
Yah where the fuck were you when my lights went out…whoa
Yah you don’t want to look at it
Nah hey…whoa whoa
Yah you don’t want to look at me
C’mon let me out c’mon and let me out
Yah tie a soul to you when your life goes down
Time flies when you’re falling down
I spread my right all over this town
And everyone of you looks the same
And everyone of you feels the same
