where is that lawn mower?
one of the few songwriters that has a song for everymood. Explain this one.

----------------------------
(Nothing But) Flowers
----------------------------

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers
The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

he's fine. we're fine.
i know, i wished we could've hung out. how was the concert? what was the concert? i saw a ring that reminded me of you last night. it was beautiful. it was a flat silver opal and had William Shakespeare's intials in his handwriting scrawled across. so neat. see you soon.

the concert was great. it was the guy who played elvis along with the band doing 2 sets of elvis songs. David went with this girl he is dating, i get him in fo free, and i sat in the vom with some others, and another special other, and partied it up. that ring sounds really cool. but people might think that me and willie the shake are dating and that he, or im, is the others bitch.

when are you coming back thru here?
anon and love
