SYD STRAW LYRICS
I couldn’t find the lyrics online anywhere so I did the pause-write-pause-write thing:
(off one of my all time favorite albums)
Water, Please
by Syd Strawwater me, water please,
water your garden
keep your eyes on the prize, and your hose on the roses
all the weeds are takin’ over, bigger weeds are takin’ over here
water me, water please
water your garden
we can no longer rely on the weather patterns
it’s all so mysterious
we can’t wait to shake the hand of a god we can trust who won’t abandon us
attention, oh attention must be paid
attention must be paid
you’re not the first one to leave me thirstin’
oh no, oh woah, hey hey hey
I’m waiting for you here in your backyard, where I always was
I’m so very near but you know I won’t be
if you don’t water me I will die
don’t let me, don’t let me
what a day, what a day
water your garden
attention must be paid, attention must be paid
attention, attention, attention
attention must be paid

Never heard of Syd Straw, the song or those lyrics, but I sure did enjoy them. Thanks for takin’ the time to water me.
“Willy Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He’s not the finest man that ever lived. But he’s a human being and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He’s not to be allowed to go to his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must be finally paid to such a person .” ~Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman
i think i heard this somewhere before. cool.
thanks for sharing a favorite….
Attention is expensive.
I love seeing someone’s favorite.
The song my current title is from, if you like, I could email you. It’s sad, though. Which is apparent.
