Intro: verse 1 Bobby’s off on holiday Away across the sea Setting up his easel A new scene to see Says that he’s had enough Of standing in the rain Now he’s looking for the good life With European pain Did you know your garden’s overgrown And what is shown? verse 2   Meeting all these pretty girls Singing golden hair He’s in touch with the painter’s mind And Syd’s unflinching stare Drinking wine in the Moulin Rouge Sipping kaffee in Berlin Might take in the colored lights In the city they call sin He could see The writing on the wall Ten feet tall Did you know your garden’s overgrown And what is shown? Bridge But oh there are times He wished the world Would fade just into sight And oh the feelings that changed Were thicker than the brush strokes of fame Link verse 3 Now he rides the dirt roads of old southern Spain And when senoritas sing He can hear them say Did you know your garden’s overgrown And what is shown? He could see The writing on the wall Ten feet tall Outro:

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'un artiste qui part en voyage à la recherche de nouvelles expériences et d'inspiration, loin de la monotonie de sa vie quotidienne. Il se retrouve dans des endroits colorés comme le Moulin Rouge et Berlin, entouré de belles rencontres, mais il réalise également que sa vie est à l'image d'un jardin oublié, où certaines choses essentielles lui échappent. Le contexte évoque l'idée de l’évasion, de la quête d'un bonheur plus authentique, tout en soulignant la fragilité des moments de joie face aux réalités de la vie, où des sentiments profonds peuvent être masqués derrière le succès apparent.
