blind-fitter Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Elvis Costello refers to the state of his garden in "Good Year for The Roses", but I suspect it might be a metaphor, or somesuch literary device. "Good Year For The Roses" I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray Lyin’ cold the way you left ’em, but at least your lips caressed them while You packed Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn’t drink But at least you thought you wanted it, that’s so much more than I can say For me What a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin’ Funny I don’t even care As you turn to walk away As the door behind you closes The only thing I have to say It’s been a good year for the roses After three full years of marriage, it’s the first time that you haven’t Made the bed I guess the reason we’re not talkin’, there’s so little left to say we Haven’t said While a million thoughts go racin’ through my mind, I find I haven’t said a word >from the bedroom the familiar sound of a baby’s cryin’ goes unheard What a good year for the roses Many blooms still linger there The lawn could stand another mowin’ Funny I don’t even care As you turn to walk away As the door behind you closes The only thing I have to say It’s been a good year for the roses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 "The Gardener" by Rudimentary Peni Link to song In the garden, the roses have no thorns, The growth is steady and quite natural, No parasites, no harm, Immortal existence, perpetual motion, Forever peace and charm, forever peace and charm, Forever peace and charm. Link went to the wrong flippin' song. This is the baby: "The Gardener" - Rudimentary Peni Though this clip just misbehaves for me: dunno if it's the PC, youtube or the clip itself, but it's being very naughty. Keeps cutting out after 9 seconds. It's hard work getting to hear the whole song (1 min 26 seconds of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is. I've never been certain about what that means, but it makes just as much sense as First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is. ~ Donovan, There Is A Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) "(Garden of )Black Roses" - Carlton Coffie (Inner Circle) Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Oh, nurturin' years of so long Whatever happened to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong When I was a boy I planted a garden That meant so much to me, one of reality, yeah A garden of love none like this before One of a kind equality, yeah A prayer for you and me, Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Oh, nurturin' years of so long, so long Whatever happened to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong If we can keep the candles burnin' To shelter them from pain, oh, let them laugh again, Shower the world with their innocence Who's tears felt like rain History remains the same, oh But one by one they come up missing Strangers thought, I was sleeping Some life, some life means nothing to some people Watch out now, we got them on the run, on the run, yes Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Oh, nurturin' years of so long Whatever happened to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong, tell me Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Will someone help me sing this song I haven't seen them for so long, why did they treat them wrong My black roses Where have you been Will someone say My, my black roses My precious black roses Night and day, I hear the children cry and they say Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Oh, nurturin' years of so long, so long Whatever happened to my garden of black roses They say a stranger treated them wrong Whatever happened to my garden of black roses Will someone help me sing this song, please Black Roses Edited April 12, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)" ~ Elton John "A Wednesday In Your Garden" ~ Guess Who As I crawl through your garden You stand and laugh You stand and laugh I tried to beg for your pardon You stand and laugh You stand and laugh It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die I tried to stand in your garden But you're too tall You're much too tall You win the hand, I throw my cards in You watched me fall You watched me fall It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die I tried to fly in your garden But you shot me down Mama you shot me down on the ground I watched the sky above me harden And your black gown your long back funeral gown It's a long way coming down The ladders in your eye For a wednesday in your garden I think that I would die. "Gate and Garden" ~ Stevie Nicks There is a gate It can be guarded Well it is not heaven And it has a garden So to the red rose Grows the passion And the guardian... Well it's now you know It's just a few days...away It's now you know And it's then It's just a game...that...we...play Someone steals it... Someone...steals it away Scares you to death You don't give in to yourself You give in to your friends Don't send an answer How many times...have you said Do I love you Well I always did...everynight Nobody knows...nothing 'bout it Well it's now you know It's everywhere You say...you seek the truth I say all is fair Don't send an answer How many times... Have you said... Do I love you...everynight Well I always did Nobody knows...nothin' 'bout it Wo...do I love you Well I always did...everynight Nobody knows...nothin' 'bout it They know nothing 'bout it They know nothing' 'bout it... "Rose Garden" ~ Stevie Nicks You never promised me a Rose Garden You never said it would be easy You never promised me a leisure lifetime You only said you'd never leave me CHORUS: Well I never took the time to realize How much I needed love in order to survive I was so spoiled...a princess in my time And your love was so deep And mine...so blind You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds A band of gold you said was all you could buy You never said I'd be a rich man's lady And oh my darling...no, you never lied CHORUS: Well I never took the time to realize How much I needed love in order to survive I was so spoiled...a princess in my time And your love was so deep And mine...so blind And now you're gone...and I'm alone, and I'm so lonely Nothing seems to be the same One day I turned around and you no longer loved me In my life there's been a big change Now...I've a big house With pillars standing tall all around Yeah, and I've got a garden And it's got roses dangling down to the ground Yes, and I've got money Men to love me...and acres of land Well, I've got all these things... All these things but a small gold band On my finger...on my left hand Oh no...you never promised... You never promised...me a Rose Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
