Avant Gardener Lyrics - The Double Ep: A Sea Of Split Peas - Courtney Barnett

I sleep in late 

Another day 

Oh what a wonder 

Oh what a waste. 

It's a monday 

It's so mundane 

What exciting things 

Will happen today? 

The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and 

I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab 

We should ammend that 

I pull the sheets back 

It's 40 degrees 

And i feel like i'm dying. 

Life's getting hard in here 

So i do some gardening 

Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be. 

The nice lady next door talks of green beds 

And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them 

I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps. 

Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes. 

I feel pro-active 

I pull out weeds 

All of a sudden 

I'm having trouble breathing in. 

My hands are shaky 

My knees are weak 

I can't seem to stand 

On my own two feet 

I'm breathing but i'm wheezing 

Feel like i'm emphysem-in' 

My throat feels like a funnel 

Filled with weetabix and kerosene and 

Oh no, next thing i know 

They call up triple o 

I'd rather die than owe the hospital 

Till I get old 

I get adrenalin 

Straight to the heart 

I feel like Uma Thurman 

Post-overdosing kick start 

Reminds me of the time 

When i was really sick and i 

Had too much psuedoefedryn and i 

Couldn't sleep at night 

Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent 

He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance 

The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar 

I think she's clever cos she stops people dying 

Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic 

Should've stayed in bed today 

I much prefer the mundane. 

I take a hit from 

An asthma puffer 

I do it wrong 

I was never good at smoking bongs. 

I'm not that good at breathing in.
