lyrics

(my brother's shed)

He asked me if I thought that Dad would like it, standing there
Felt on the roof and the door hung straight and everything level
And I said yes, and that is the only lie I've told him
And I would say it again and I would say it faster

My brother's shed (my brother's shed)
He built it in two weekends, his shed
And it is empty, his shed
His shed

My brother's shed, brother's shed, my brother's shed
Dad wanted the wanting and my brother wanted to help
My brother's shed, brother's shed, my brother's shed
And only one of those two things is possible to build

(key change up)
He goes down there on Sunday mornings now. With a cup.
Stands in the doorway. Does not do anything. Just stands.
He has inherited it exactly. He has no idea. Good.

My brother's shed, brother's shed, my brother's shed
Dad wanted the wanting and my brother wanted to help
My brother's shed, brother's shed, my brother's shed
And only one of those two things is possible to build

(just stands...)
