about

Written for Martin Newell, the world’s first eco-artist, who did a concert tour of the UK in the 90s on a bicycle. When he was not making enough as a poet and a recording artist, Martin was a gardener and very happy in this world. The garden is my perfect world.

lyrics

There’s death and destruction
There’s peace love and harmony
There’s so many beautiful things you can be
It’s not where you’re going to
It’s not where you’re coming from
You say nothing is right
I say nothing is wrong
Take a walk round Martin’s garden
As the sun goes down
And all that you’ve ever lost will be found

It’s as big as a matchbox
It’s as small as the london zoo
And there’s so many different things you can do
Take a walk round Martin’s garden
Take a walk with me
There’s so many wonderful things you can see

Cause all the people in Martin’s garden
Are all the people I know
And all the people are asking Martin
How does your garden grow
How does your garden grow How does your garden
How does your garden
How does your garden grow?

The rain follows sunshine
And the summer the springtime
O they come and they go however they please
There ain’t no walls in Martin’s garden
Or none that you can’t climb
But if you really need a ladder You can borrow mine

Cause all the people in Martin’s garden
Are all the people I know
And all the people are asking Martin
How does your garden grow
How does your garden grow How does your garden
How does your garden
How does your garden grow?

There ain’t no walls in Martin’s garden
Or none that you can’t climb
But if you really need a ladder
You can borrow mine

Cause all the people in Martin’s garden
Are all the people I know
And all the people are asking Martin
How does your garden grow
How does your garden grow How does your garden
How does your garden
How does your garden grow?
Cause all the people in Martin’s garden
Are all the people I know
And all the people are asking Martin
How does your garden grow
How does your garden grow
How does your garden
How does your garden
How does your garden grow?
