51 Gardner Lyrics

Don't even be like that, try not to take it in
'Cause all that you'll hold will break down
Whatcha doing, doing to me? Well, I've heard it all before
Every day just a little bit better, every day just a little bit moreWell, I don't mind the things that I've heard today
And I don't mind the things I've seen
Gonna sit right here on my brand new porch
'Cause this house is good enough for me51, 51 gardnerIt's a nice house, I don't need much
It's got a welfare little porch
I can sit there all day and still have fun
You don't see what's great about it, you don't see what holds it upBut in the winter time it snows a lot in Boston
And when it does well, I'm in luck
Well, I'm walking softly, knocking softly, didn't mean to bother
If you need me I'm right down the hallWell, you said it was alright but it's nothing to write home about
Well, if it's no fun why do it at all across your house in a big red house
They're causing trouble making too much noise
But the timing wasn't right, no, the timing wasn't right, hit the stop, hit the51, 51 gardnerCrawling all around those little fuckers, try to hide from us
So I bomb 'em, smash 'em, stomp their eggs
And I gather them all right up

Well, I put 'em in a can set it to flames
(Yeah, that's the stuff)But the landlord's to blame, yeah Joe's to blame
And I'm sure he's had enough
Walking softly, knocking softly, didn't mean to bother
If you need me I'm right down the hallWell, you said it was alright but it's nothing to write home about
Well, if it's no fun why do it at all across your house in a big red house
They're causing trouble making too much noise
But the timing wasn't right, no, the timing wasn't right, hit the stop, hit theDon't even be like that, try not to take it in
'Cause all that you'll hold will break down
