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 called my baby on the telephone,         |  |_|_|_|_|_|       |_X_|_|_|_|  |
I say 'come down and have some fun',       |  |_|_|_|_|_|  eg.  |_|_|_|_|_|  |

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. |
