lyrics

There I was just idling my time without a care
Then a distant memory I leapt out from my chair
All those unfinished jobs to do I'll get myself outside
There's nowhere to hide

Shed Up! Shed Up! Embrace your inner introvert
Shed Up! Shed Up! A sanctuary amongst the dirt
Shed Up! Shed Up! Discard the stresses of the day
Shed Up! Shed Up! Tranquillity’s a path away

Quick as a flash picked up my phone but something wasn’t right
Needed divine inspiration forthwith then I saw the light
Shining with supernatural force I knew just what to do
Off to B&Q

Shed Up! Shed Up! Embrace your inner introvert
Shed Up! Shed Up! A sanctuary amongst the dirt
Shed Up! Shed Up! Discard the stresses of the day
Shed Up! Shed Up! Tranquillity’s a path away

Recruit some family members to erect it
Buy some shed preserver to protect it
Then fill it full of all you know
A varnish tin from long ago
Plastic buckets, rubber shoes
Some wood I someday plan to use
A roll of stuff that looks like suede
High performance garden spade
An eighth of white gloss in a tin
Wellies with think cobwebs in
Ancient Roman kitchen tiles
Garden chairs stacked in a pile
It’s obvious now, so I said
I need to buy a second shed
(I need to buy a second shed)

When I’m at odds with the world I’m no rodent in a race
Alone with my thoughts (…) I’m staring into space
Lawn mower there by my side, ensconced I'll count to ten
Found my zen
Shed Up! Shed Up! Embrace your inner introvert
Shed Up! Shed Up! A sanctuary amongst the dirt
Shed Up! Shed Up! Discard the stresses of the day
Shed Up! Shed Up! Tranquillity’s a path away
