GLASTO IN MY GARDEN

GLASTO IN MY GARDEN

I stared up at the silver Moon
A weekend at the end of June
Solstice gone, now here so soon
I've got Glasto in my garden

Had no chance to get a ticket
Put my tent up, near the thicket
Nice fresh air, you just can’t lick it
I've got Glasto in my garden

I’ve got some “grass”... with clover in it
I’ve got some “pot”... with a plant stuck in it
I’ve even got “shit”... It’s my Missus innit
I've got Glasto in my garden

I got dressed up, just like a hippy
I've got a veggie burger from our local chippy
I’ve put a star on my head with my Sister’s lippy
I've got Glasto in my garden

For my “vibes” I put the tranny on
Tuned it in to Radio One
Wondered where the “birds” had gone
For they all flew out my garden

For half an hour it felt so good
Then came the rain like I knew it would
Then the whole of the garden turned to mud
I had Glasto in my garden

Hahaa - speaking as a veteran of Glastonbury 2007 (THE wettest muddiest one on record!!) this proper made me laugh. Love the line about your sister's lippy :D

Have to say though, the punters there these days are less hippy, more materialistic, and much more likely to sulk if the weather doesn't go their way!! Kudos ain't worth shit if the sun don't shine apparently ;)

Good fun. Kind of makes a point too. It would perform well - one of those poems that leaves everyone smiling

I like this very good. it strikes a chord with me. Why pay for the thrill of mud when you can an experience it at home.
