Lyrics
I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It's a monday
It's so mundane
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
We should ammend that
I pull the sheets back
It's 40 degrees
And i feel like i'm dying.
Life's getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be.
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I'm having trouble breathing in.
My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can't seem to stand
On my own two feet
I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
Feel like i'm emphysem-in'
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I'd rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn't sleep at night
Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
Should've stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I'm not that good at breathing in.

Im an ER nurse and can definitely say writing a song this good is really much harder than restarting someone's heart.

I love Courtney, she's such a genuinely lovely person. I saw her over 4 years ago in a tiny local venue and made her a little gift as I was watching her. I shyly gave it to her afterwards, whilst people were getting CD's signed. She asked me what I was doing later that evening and if I wanted to come to her performance at a much bigger venue, also locally. I'd already had plans that night, so I didn't get to go, but I was so touched by her kindness and humility. ❤️

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever cause I play guitar
I think she's clever cause she stops people dying"
The most inspiring lyrics ever.

It gets easier.
Everyday it gets a little easier.
But you gotta do it everyday day, that's the hard part.
But it does get easier.
Best Quote in a LOOOOOOOONNGG time.

This song gives me the vibe of realizing that you are not ok but it’s ok. Meaning you feel the pain but you just went numb or passive about it.

It's 2020 and my teenage daughter turned me on to this song. I originally wanted to learn more about the music she enjoyed as I did growing up. Honestly, this song helps me personally get through the day sometimes.

So nice of young Bob Dylan to take time out of his schedule to come judge their tennis match.

Her voice and expression resonate deeply within in me. It touches a despair I feel and that I think many people do. She wears it so freely, without putting a mask on to hide her pain. Thank you! Not everything is sunshine and roses. Pain does exist, and there's nothing wrong with it.

I cant stop listening to the line “anything to take my mind away from where it’s supposed to be”. Its so cathartic.

I just got out of hospital yesterday and I found this song today. Man, does it say everything for me right now. I'm starting a garden on the deck of my loft.

This song could literally be ABOUT quarantine.

this song is a mix between depression and anxiety

Everything this woman touches turns to Gold. The songwriting is impeccable

Courtney Barnett has some amazing lyrics, I'm so glad she is getting the recognition she deserves and her music is getting radio play. I was first introduced to her music through my music producer friend. I wanna throw him some love for introducing me to some amazing music, he's just released a new single, try searching Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watch Tower, he has this amazing female singer on it and it gives me a bit of Courtney Barnett vibes, i think they are really talented and deserve more recognition, he did it all himself on his laptop

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever 'cause I play guitar I think she's clever cause she stops people dying" This line cracks me up so much.
