All I need is some inspiration, They told me to get healthy,
Before I do somebody some harm. They told me to get some sun.
I feel just like a vegetable, But boredom eats me like cancer,
Down here on the farm. Down here on the farm.
No body comes to see me, Drinking lemonade shandy,
No body here to turn me on. Ain't nobody here to do me harm.
I ain't even got a lover, But I'm like a fish out of water.
Down here on the Farm. Down here on the farm.

.---------------------------------.
I write a thousand letters, | PLAY USING POWER CHORDS! |
'til my fingers all go numb. | |
But I, never see no postman, | E A D G B E E A D G B E |
Down here on the farm. | ____x_x_x_x x_____x_x_x |
I called my baby on the telephone, | |_|_|_|_|_| |_X_|_|_|_| |
I say 'come down and have some fun', | |_|_|_|_|_| eg. |_|_|_|_|_| |
But she knows what the score is, | X_|_|_|_|_| |_|_X_|_|_| |
Down here on the farm. | |_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_| |
I can't fall in love with the wheat field! | |_X_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_| |
I can't fall in love with the barn! | |
When everything smells like horses%!# | Just move these about! |
Down here on the farm. | (Basis of most punk rock!) |
Blue skies and swimming pools, | |
Add so much charm, `---------------------------------'
But I'd rather be back in Soho, .---------------------------------.
Than down here on the farm. | A very good song for beginners. |
| Play with plenty of distortion. |
On the f%&*!? farm! | Sing with an English accent! 8) |
`---------------------------------'
Are you born in a f%&*!? barn or what?
Baaaa!
Hold still...
