Lyrics Gardening At Night - R.E.M.

Gardening At Night

Heard the neighbour slam his car door
Don’t he realise this is respectable street
What d’you think he bought that car for
'cos he realise this is respectable street
Now they talk about absorption
In cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
As they speak of child prevention
And immaculate receptions on their portable
Sony entertainment centres.
Now she speak about diseases
And which proposition pleases best her old man
Avon lady fills the creases
When she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
That never move from their front gardens.
It’s in the order of their hedgerows
