Tending my fruit, tending my fruit
Ah, you've got to have a hobby
A man must have a shed to keep him sane
Spraying my buds, spraying my buds
Got to keep away diseases
I mix the poisons and the wife don't complain
Some people say
That I am out of my tree
Or just a strawberry fool
Someday they'll see
Till then I'll blow you a raspberry
'Cos apples and pears are me
So I'm tending my fruit
And I don't give a hoot
'Cos it keeps me sane, it keeps me sane
Some people say
That I am out of my tree
Or just a strawberry fool
Someday they'll see
Till then I'll blow you a raspberry
'Cos apples and pears are me
So I'm tending my fruit, tending my fruit
Ah, you've got to have a hobby
A man must have a shed to keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
Oh, the wife can't complain
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
Yeah keeps him sane
To keep him sane
Ah, you've got to have a hobby
A man must have a shed to keep him sane
Got to keep away diseases
I mix the poisons and the wife don't complain
That I am out of my tree
Or just a strawberry fool
Someday they'll see
Till then I'll blow you a raspberry
'Cos apples and pears are me
And I don't give a hoot
'Cos it keeps me sane, it keeps me sane
That I am out of my tree
Or just a strawberry fool
Someday they'll see
Till then I'll blow you a raspberry
'Cos apples and pears are me
Ah, you've got to have a hobby
A man must have a shed to keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
Oh, the wife can't complain
To keep him sane
To keep him sane
Yeah keeps him sane
To keep him sane

Just what it says. It's about a fellow who loves to garden, and his wife feels uncared for because he's too busy gardening to pay attention to her
This song is awesome. It sounds pleasant and cheerful and not at all wrong at first, but it gets creepier once you think about it.
It's about a guy who is completely psychotic. He believes that he cannot possibly be insane, since he's got a hobby that keeps him sane. He tells this to himself constantly.
His wife cannot complain because she is dead. He murdered her, likely by poisoning her with pesticides. He stuffed her in the shed, so that he'll never see her rotting corpse, hence, why a man must have a shed to keep him sane. Otherwise it'll be out there in plain sight, and it'd be more difficult for him to keep up his delusions of sanity.
People are trying to get him to get some help, since they've seen that his behavior is extremely erratic, but he refuses to listen to a word they say. He possibly plans to kill them too. ("Someday they'll see . . .")
Fantastically demented song.
OMG! I thought it was a song about masturbation!
