All I need is some inspiration
Before I do somebody some harm
I feel just like a vegetable
Down here on the farm
Nobody comes to see me
Nobody’s here to turn me on
I don’t even have a lover
Down here on the farm
They told me to get healthy
They told me to get some sun
But boredom eats me like cancer
Down here on the farm
Drinking lemonade shandy
There’s nothing here to do me harm
I’m like a fish out of water
Down here on the farm
I write a thousand letters
Till my fingers all gone numb
But I never see no postman
Down here on the farm
Call my baby on the telephone, I say
Come down and have some fun
But she knows what the score is
Down here on the farm
I can’t fall in love with wheat fields
I can’t fall in love with a barn
When everything smells like horse shit
Down here on the farm
Blue skies and swimming pools
Add so much charm
But I’d rather be back in Soho
Than down on the farm
This is not original, this is a reworking by UK subs of their own tune. The original was on Endangered Species album. Guns n roses were fans of the UK subs.
How can people like the gnr version and dislike this version at the time?
What does the gnr version do that this version doesn't? Seriously, theyre pretty much the same.
Both fast paced, both punk, both awesome!
Let's just say I live in a small town, Bumfuck, Nowhere
This song is "Southern Comfort' to me!! No, I don't live in the south, but it might as well be.
I'm pretty sure most of the people here in the comments are just hard rock fans who came here to say that the GN'R version is "better". UK Subs for life!
I like the slower version I got on the CD ''countdown''.. UK SUBS all the way, don't know what they talkin about in this song though....hummm is he tlkin about goin to detox on a farm maybe?
lol.
see in the lyrics what you want.
i see the lyrics as my life.
everyday i go to the factory,
and go to work.
and yet i dream everyday that i can make money some other way.
the factory is my farm.
jerry cantrell once said, see in our music what you wanna see,
and like what you want to like, and we are happy.
