The Gardener

I think the song is about unwanted pregnancy and giving birth to unwanted child

Sorry for the setback I know i let you down

mother is telling about the pregnancy and who is the father, creating problems for him

Turn back the clocks and step back And spring might come around

irony about the time that cant be turned back

My little misbegotten... You're quite a stubborn bud!

to her fetus...misbegotten=bastard

If we can't make you open We will take it out in blood

if there is no dilation, there will be caesarian

We'll make a man out of you yet! We will plant brambles in your bed!

to the father...warning about what will come he will become a man/father/parent

Just close your eyes and count to ten... This is as close as you will get...

restless nights

Oh is our little willow weeping? Flutter to your knees The untilled things before me, Oh the possibilities

the mother accuse the father for being scared to be a parent

Thank you for the warning, But i still see the sun... A little global warming Never hurt no one...

cant understand that one, if someone have an idea please share...

At last my pretty flower Is getting put to use You've always been a failure But now you're bearing strange new fruit...

the mother to herself... the flower and the fruit being metaphors for womb and fetus

The insides are all useless

she's been told she wont have another child

But the rest is fertile, so

she is healthy otherwise...

I will take the belt from off the hook And watch the garden grow

so she's forced to punish herself and carry the child, despite she does not want it...because this is her only chance to be a mother

We'll make a man out of you yet You won't know what will hit you next The gardener's coming to collect You wanted love? That's what you get...

Blaming the father for the pregnancy, threatening she's giving birth to the child

The gardener's coming to collect

Doctors are coming to extract the baby

THESE ARE BRILLIANT VERY POWERFUL LYRICS!!!!!!! THANK YOU AMANDA!
