Man in a Shed (1st Sound Techniques session, March / 1968) Songtext
von Nick Drake

Once there was a man, lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten, let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained, he felt so bad
When it snowed, he felt just simply sad
Well, there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her, he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her, his shed to mend
She said, "I′m sorry, you'll just have to find
A friend." Well, this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes, and the girl is you
So leave your house, come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through on my head
Please don′t think I'm not your sort
You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought
