SHE WANDERED THROUGH THE GARDEN FENCE

lyrics by Keith Reid

She wandered through the garden fence,
And said, "I've brought a great expens-
Ive potion, guaranteed to bring
Relief from all your suffering."
And though I said, "You don't exist,"
She grasped me firmly by the wrist,
Threw me down upon my back,
And strapped me to a torture rack
And without further argument,
I found my mind was also bent
Upon a course so devious
It only made my torment worse

She said, "I see you cannot speak,
Is it your voice that is too weak?
Is it your tongue that is to blame?
Maybe you cannot speak for shame.
Or has your brain been idle, too,
And now it will not speak for you?"
I hastened to make my reply,
But found that I could only lie
And like a fool I believed myself
And thought I was somebody else
But she could see what I was then
And left me on my own again

And like a fool I believed myself
And thought I was somebody else
But she could see what I was then
And left me on my own again

She wandered through the garden fence,
And said, "I've brought a great expens-
Ive potion, guaranteed to bring
Relief from all your suffering."
And though I said, "You don't exist,"
She grasped me firmly by the wrist,
Threw me down upon my back,
And strapped me to a torture rack
And without further argument,
I found my mind was also bent
Upon a course so devious
It only made my torment worse
