Loudon Wainwright III - Valley Morning Lyrics

The slap of the paper, the hiss of the sprinkler
The beep of the coffee machine
The drone in the distance that says there's a freeway
The gardeners will soon make the scene
Cause it's Thursday, soon they'll arrive on the scene

I pick up the paper, and spritz by the sprinkler
Inside I take in my caffeine
Then I hear the dog door, I know he's gone out there
To mark and to mess up the scene
They're illegal, but soon they'll arrive on the scene

Our leader's is an actor who speaks with an accent
Who's able to procure our love
But life is a movie out here in the Valley
What else were we all thinking of?

The clack of the skateboard resounds in the valley
Next door the kids' starting a band
Their morning rehearsal is making me crazy
The volume is way out of hand
It's not music, to my ears it's way out of hand

Our leader's is an actor who speaks with an accent
Who's able to procure our love
But life is a movie out here in the Valley
What else were we all thinking of?

The slap of the paper, the hiss of the sprinkler
The beep of the coffee machine
The drone in the distance that says there's a freeway
The gardeners will soon make the scene
Yes, it's Thursday, soon they'll arrive on the scene
They're illegal, to mow blow than go from the scene
