Washed Your Car Lyrics

I washed your car last week
you gave me a kiss on the cheek
i asked if you would be my sweet
you said "baby not me"

I mowed your lawn yesterday
you gave me six bucks
and i said "lets have some lemonade"
you said "go away"

oh oh oh oh oh oh

I built your cupboards out of my bones
shoveled your snow with an ice cream cone
I asked if you would be my own
you said "leave me alone"

I raked your leaves with my toes
tilled your garden with my nose
asked if you would be my beau
you said "no no no"

Built your cupboards out of my bones
shoveled your snow with an ice cream cone
I asked if you would be my own
you said "leave me alone"

I raked your leaves with my toes
tilled your garden with my nose
asked if you would be my beau
you said "no no no"

you said "no no no"
you said "no no no"
you said "no no no"
you said "no no no"
you said "no no no"

pretty easy. do all sorts of deeds for someone you want, and get nothing in return.

love this cd

I don't think it's so much do deeds and get nothing in return, but try your hardest to impress someone or make yourself important to them in total futility, nomatter WHAT you do to get their attention.

I stumbled upon this song after a relationship I had, and it was like a mirror.

I see all these "deeds" as putting yourself out there and trying to be the best that you can be for someone else, and then being totally let down by who they turn out to really be.

It was a healing song for me at the time. That's my best interpretation of it.

I agree with Lainason, but everyone is kinda right.

It's, to me, about how you like someone, so naturally you'll help them out. Not necessarily expecting something, but over time you'd think your niceties will be paid off through dating (or whatever). You're so willing to help them with everything just so they'll hopefully realize how nice you've been and return the favor somehow.

this was the song that go me into Cloud Cult. it was the first one I hear anyways. and so i put it on playlists and stuff for weeks until finally listening to this entire CD, Advice from the Happy Hippopotomus and I was suprised that it's not even the best song.

favorite cloud cult song, next to bobby's spacesuit. I have to mostly agree with whats been said. However, do you realize these lyrics leave out the part at the end where he sings " kill her, kill her..." i'm pretty sure those lines could be crucial to intepreting the song.

I don't think it's "kill her" I just think it's just vocal effects, like the "oh oh oh"s between verses

Is it just me or does "tilled your garden with my nose" have a distinctly sexual vibe?
