Michael McLean - This Is My Garden lyrics



[snake]
I am a busy man,
I hope you'll understand.
I really must demand
You take your tools,
And leave this garden.

I am the landlord here,
I've owned this place for years.
And clearly, it appears
That you should leave,
And beg my pardon.

This garden's how I like it!
Why did you come inside it,
And take your shears and strike it,
without my express permission?

Who said that you could do this?
Your chores are not on my list.
My time is very precious;
Take your tools and quick,
Be on your way!

Why are you standing there?
I thought I made it clear.
I want you out of here -
I'm not in need of your assistance.

Forgive my being rude,
But who invited you?
What are you trying to do?
I don't have time, for your resistance.

Don't challenge me, I pray you.
I have the power to slay you!
But please, don't make me hate you -
Just be gone, and all's forgotten.

So, say, "Goodbye," and leave me.
And don't return, believe me,
You'll regret you ever came here -
Ever tried to interfere,
Or take my place as Overseer.

It's best that you just
Quietly disappear...

[Man]
...Then what becomes of
All that's living here?

You think you own it.
How could you own
This Garden
That I love so dear?

I'll be here 'till my work is done.
I won't leave in fear.

[snake]
I think you are confused -
I will not be refused.
And I've become enthused
About this chance to show my power.

Just try to clear the weeds.
Try planting newer seeds.
And you'll see thistles breed,
Returning twice as strong each hour.

No birds will ever land here.
No soil will turn to sand here!
For all that I command here
Will obey me - I'm their master!

You'll work to rearrange it,
But you will never change it.
You'll waste your life to serve it.
Nothing in this place is worth it!
Go away!

You know you can't save this Garden,
Anyway!

It's mine today!

[snake (Man)]
Why are you standing there?
(You think you own it.)
I thought I made it clear.
(How...)
I want you out of here.
(...could you own this...)
I'm not in need of your assistance.
(...Garden...)

Forgive my being rude,
But who invited you?
(...that I love so dear?)
What are you trying to do?
I don't have time for your resistance.

No birds will ever land here.
(I'll be here...)
No soil will turn to sand here!
(...'till my work is done.)
For all that I command here,
Will obey me - I'm their master!

You'll work to rearrange it,
(I won't leave...)
But you will never change it!
You'll waste your life to serve it.
(... in fear!)
Nothing in this place is worth it!
Go away!

You know you can't save this Garden,
Anyway!

It's mine today!
