WORKING IN GARDENS, THORNLESS ROSES, FAT MEN PLAY WITH THEIR GARDEN HOSES

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
I WAS FEELING MIGHTY GOOD.
MY BABY UNDERSTOOD HAD TO DO WHAT SHE SHOULD
LYING NEAR A PILE OF WOOD.
LAYING IT ON SOME,
PLAYING WITH IT SOME
WHEN I, I WOKE UP WITH WOOD.

WOKE UP THIS MORNIN' FEELIN' FINE
THERE'S SOMETHIN' SPECIAL ON MY MIND
LAST NIGHT I MET A NEW GIRL IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, WHOA YEAH
SOMETHIN' TELLS ME I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD
(SOMETHIN' TELLS ME I'M INTO SOMETHIN')

SHE'S TROUBLE (I KNOW IT)
SHE ONLY NEEDS TO TOUCH ME
I'M IN TROUBLE (I KNOW IT) HEE! OW.
SHE'S TROUBLE (I LOVE IT)
I KNOW JUST WHEN SHE DOES IT
I'M IN TROUBLE (I KNOW IT)

SHE'S TROUBLE
SHE KNOWS WHAT I LIKE
I GOT A FEELING I'M FALLING (GOING IN TROUBLE)
TROUBLE
THERE'S NO HOPE IN SIGHT
I'M IN WAY OVER MY HEAD.

SHE'S TROUBLE (I KNOW IT)
SHE ONLY NEEDS TO TOUCH ME
I'M IN TROUBLE (I KNOW IT) OO!
SHE'S TROUBLE (I LOVE IT)
I KNOW JUST WHEN SHE DOES IT
I'M IN TROUBLE (I KNOW IT) OO!

SHE'S TROUBLE (I KNOW IT)

WHY DO WE NEVER GET AN ANSWER
WHEN WE'RE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
WITH A THOUSAND MILLION QUESTIONS
ABOUT HATE AND DEATH AND WAR?
'CAUSE WHEN WE STOP AND LOOK AROUND US
THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE NEED
IN A WORLD OF PERSECUTION THAT IS
BURNING IN ITS GREED

WHY DO WE NEVER GET AN ANSWER
WHEN WE'RE KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS HARD TO SWALLOW
THAT'S WHAT THE WAR OF LOVE IS FOR

IT'S NOT THE WAY THAT YOU SAY IT
WHEN YOU DO THOSE THINGS TO ME
IT'S MORE THE WAY THAT YOU MEAN IT
WHEN YOU TELL ME WHAT WILL BE
AND WHEN YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT
YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT'S TRUE
THAT'S ALL THE LOVE YOU'VE BEEN GIVING
HAS ALL BEEN MEANT FOR YOU

I LOVE YOU
YOU LOVE ME
WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY
WITH A GREAT BIG HUG
AND A KISS FROM ME TO YOU
WON'T YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME TOO?

HERE'S SOME NEWS, BARNEY'S DEAD
WE BLEW OFF HIS PURPLE HEAD.
WITH A KNIFE IN HIS BACK,
WHILE HE WAS LAYING IN HIS BED.
AT LAST THAT PURPLE THING IS DEAD!

How sweet - they're singing to eachother! :)

. . . that's only because we're . . .

OOO OOO OOO, WISHING YOU WERE HERE
OOO OOO OOO, WISHING YOU WERE HERE

SO, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL HEAVEN FROM HELL
BLUE SKIES FROM PAIN
CAN YOU TELL A GREEN FIELD FROM A COLD STEEL RAIL?
A SMILE FROM A VEIL?
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL?

AND DID THEY GET YOU TO TRADE YOUR HEROES FOR GHOSTS?
HOT ASHES FOR TREES?
HOT AIR FOR A COOL BREEZE?
COLD COMFORT FOR CHANGE?
AND DID YOU EXCHANGE A WALK ON PART IN THE WAR
FOR A LEAD ROLE IN A CAGE?
