Story Behind The Song
Psychological 'workout' in the garden in aesthetic and economic metaphorical sense. Why do we work so hard, and for little? The answer: get back to yourself/nature
Song Description
Jazz-rock groove with combination bluesfunk and metal gtr sounds. A sort of modern Steely Dan cum P. Gabriel style song. Very strong commercial potential

Lyrics
Work in the garden
copyright Richard Rummery 2005
from ftprints11 album 'unsound'
Vi)
You're making money but its never enough
What are you doing?
You're getting funny and you can't take it tough
who are you foolin'
(down in the dirt)
CH:
Work in the garden
work and play
work in the garden, work all day
vii)
you're undernourished and the pressure is on
what are you doing?
You're like soldier whan ya' battle along
who are you fooling?
(work all day)
..just get a little dirt on your hands (work all day)
(down in the dirt)
Work and play
CH:
work in the garden
work all day
work in the garden
work out play
CH:
...just get a little dirt on your hands (work all day)
...just get a little dirt on your hands (work all day)
down in the dirt
