The Tallest Man on Earth – The Gardener

The Tallest Man on Earth – The Gardener I sense a runner in the garden Although my judgements known to fail Once built a steamboat in a meadow Cos I’d forgotten how to sail I know the runner’s going to tell you There ain’t no cowboy in my hair So now he’s buried by the daisies So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe I sense a spy up in the chimney From all the evidence I’ve burned I guess he’ll read it in the smoke now And soon to ashes I’ll return I know the spy is going to tell you It’s not my flag up in the pole So now he’s buried by the lilies So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe I sense a leak inside my phone now From all the lies I have told I know he has your private number And soon he’ll make that vicious call I know the leak is going to tell you There ain’t now puppy in your leash So now he’ll fertilize the roses So I could stay the king you see In your eyes, babe (x2) So now we’re dancing through the garden And what a garden I have made And now that death will grow my jasmine I find it soothing I’m afraid Now there is no need for suspicion There ain’t no frog kissing your hand I won’t be lying when I tell you That I’m a gardner I’m a man In your eyes babe (x3) From the album: Shallow Grave en.wikipedia.org snipr.com www.myspace.com www.thetallestmanonearth.com ©The Tallest Man on Earth ©Gravitation

  1. He’s similar to Bob Dylan.. but I wouldn’t bother comparing. I see each artist as their own. They all have different stories, styles, and nuances that make them special. His sound is a lot more modern as well.

  2. flawless. about the passions and despair that eventually will haunt every man with a heart. to capture something as precious as this in such seemingly effortless manner is out of this world.

  3. The new album is scheduled for release in march/april! If the new American recordcompany keeps their promise and release it on time. Cant wait!!

  4. Yeah me and my friend were talking about this last night. “So now he’ll fertilize the roses
    So I could stay the king you see”, one of the more revealing lines. This is such a fantastic song.

  5. Seems to me it’s about killing his woman’s new man, so he can stay her man, burying him in the garden, thus becoming a man if not THE man.

    Pretty dark song for such a happy tune

  6. Hey now. Bob Dylan was an originator. This guy is awesome but, 10 times better? I don’t know about that. hehe

  7. This guy is a pure genius.
    His vocal melodies and guitar riffs are fucking beyond amazing! He certainly deserves more attention than he’s getting. I love his music!
