She lives with an orange tree
The girl that does yoga
She picks the dead ones from the ground
When we come over
And she gives
I get
Without giving anything to me
Like a morning sun
Like a morning
Like a morning sun
Good good morning sun
The girl that does yoga
When we come over
Girl that does yoga
He lives in a little house
On the side of a little hill
Picks the litter from the ground
Litter little brother spills
He gives
I get
Without giving anything to me
And the dogs they run
And the dogs they
And the dogs they run
In the good good morning sun
Side of a little hill
Litter little brother spills
Side of a little hill
Oh and she's always dressed in white
She's like an angel, man
She burns my eyes
Oh and she turns
She pulls a smile
We drive her 'round
And she drives us wild
Oh and she moves like a little girl
I become a child, man
She moves my world
And she gets splashed in rain
And turns away
And leaves me standing
She lives with an orange tree
The girl that does yoga
Got a wolf to keep her warm
When he comes over
She gives
He gets
Without giving anything to see
And the day it ends
And the day it
And the day it ends
And there's no need for me
The girl that does yoga
When we come over
The girl that does yoga
The girl that does yoga
She picks the dead ones from the ground
When we come over
And she gives
I get
Without giving anything to me
Like a morning sun
Like a morning
Like a morning sun
Good good morning sun
The girl that does yoga

Thanks for that visual and the resulting laughter...I agree...Hey Damian, throw a J. Geils disk in and get happy!
I dunno. When I hear this, all I see is John Belushi in a toga smashing the guy's guitar.

I like it. Made me think of Tracy Chapman.

We ARE just making random comments, right?
Wayne Campbell: I mean, there are two Darren Stevens, right? Dick York and Dick Sargeant. Yeah, right, as if we wouldn't notice. Oh hold on: Dick York, Dick Sergeant, Sergeant York... Wow, that's weird.

I'm not normally impressed by procrastinative musings or depressive wailing, but once in a while....
Both albums by this guy really got to me. Give it a try.

Maybe now they'll believe the environmentalists when they talk about the detrimental effects of bovine growth hormones in the groundwater.

Hard to despise, did I hear a diminished/augmented chord in there somewhere???
Nice voice, nice guitar, lyrics are too precious. 5.
And this comments has to do with this song...How?

9 X 
Woof woof! Ar-oooo! A dog of a song, all right. 3 from the Nottingham jury.
mmmmm bendy 
i don't care what anyone says about this album.. this album is awesome. A+
This album, although I've never heard it fully yet, doesn't seem nearly as strong as "O"...Although I've definitly heard better tracks off "9" than this. I still want to get the whole album either way!
Did he use any opera singers on this one? She added so much to "O" I think!

the girl that does yoga? WTF?
Way too precious. Where's the ipecac?
Pretty slick pickin'... and an up close, untarnished voice.

lame, totally lame
Intially, I felt this album was a little more scattered than "O" -- but as you continue to listen, its raw ferocity really hits you. Damien does not disappoint. This song is especially a highlight.
O is a 9 and 9 is a 6 :P
Yes, hard to despise, but very easy to feel indifferent about. Nothing to set this guy apart from a dozen blandly inoffensive semi-acoustic pop acts around the turn of the millenium.
