Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener Lyrics
I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It’s a Monday
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it’s a mess and
I guess the neighbors must think we run a meth lab
We should amend that
I pull the sheets back
It’s 40 degrees
And i feel like I'm dying.
Life’s getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.
I’m having trouble breathing in.
My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can’t seem to stand
On my own two feet
I’m breathing but I'm wheezing
Feel like I'm emphysemin’
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weet bix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I’d rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn’t sleep at night
Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent
He’s probably wondering what i’m doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks I'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she’s clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic
Should’ve stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I’m not that good at breathing in.
I’m not that good at breathing in.
I’m not that good at breathing in.

Courtney Barnett Avant Gardener Comments
I've been overplaying Beck's Hyperspace lately but this makes an excellent palate cleanser.
My daughter 15 played this start of Nov. My fave song 2019
this is SO SO CUTE
no. its so lame... i like yer live shit... but otherwise no.... lame
Newport Radio plays this song...love it!
Sit Dylan,down and sharap.
Totally Cool! - Yes! My heart gets happy. :))
BD impersonator is umpire :)
4:17 he dont give the point :,(
Pretty sure I just watched four people play tennis for the very first time.
Dear Courtney, please come to Europe, preferably before the other Europeans wise-up & kick us Brits out. I've not heard a track I don't like yet.
P.S. I think Kurt W. is pretty cool too.
💕❤️💕
lol id rather die as well than be taken in an ambulance and owe the hospital
Asthmatics understand
She seems to keep going both inside and outside of the world where the song is sung.
E muito ruim essa porra cá aí
I love this tune I remember hearing it among the modern puke that was out there it wss such a breath of fresh air
Emphysemin' needs to go in Merriam-Webster's immediately.
Man I thought the boomers were bad but their kids are actually worse. At this point I’m actually hoping it all hits the fan soon just so these muck ruck middle class dopes have something legitimate to complain about.
The guy behind the scoreboard confused me for a so-called Mr.Jones one time.
I love this
Great Courtney concert moment
https://youtu.be/kRepm_1BN-k
Who came because Bojack horseman ?
Me don't
Btw nice ending ever
she's dating a MUCH older women and less famous musician. It's weird.
Love the song, but not a fan of the video.
That outro sounds so much like a Pavement song, can anyone remember which one? Pavement has a zillion songs. Btw this song is phenomenal.
I have asthma. This song speaks to me
40 celcius, I get it...
IMHO, one of the greatest music videos ever made.
Thanks to Courtney Barnett, I stopped smoking weed. I get stoned everytime she opens her mouth!
Lovely !!! Go Courtney.
Im an ER nurse and can definitely say writing a song this good is really much harder than restarting someone's heart.
Judging by the comments, were all here for the same reason
Does anybody else feel like they're on fire?
Just horsing around
I sleep in late
Another day
Oh what a wonder
Oh what a waste.
It's a monday
It's so mundane
What exciting things
Will happen today?
The yard is full of hard rubbish it's a mess and
I guess the neighbours must think we run a meth lab
We should ammend that
I pull the sheets back
It's 40 degrees
And i feel like i'm dying.
Life's getting hard in here
So i do some gardening
Anything to take my mind away from where it's sposed to be.
The nice lady next door talks of green beds
And all the nice things that she wants to plant in them
I wanna grow tomatoes on the front steps.
Sunflowers, bean sprouts, sweet corn and radishes.
I feel pro-active
I pull out weeds
All of a sudden
I'm having trouble breathing in.
My hands are shaky
My knees are weak
I can't seem to stand
On my own two feet
I'm breathing but i'm wheezing
Feel like i'm emphysem-in'
My throat feels like a funnel
Filled with weetabix and kerosene and
Oh no, next thing i know
They call up triple o
I'd rather die than owe the hospital
Till I get old
I get adrenalin
Straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman
Post-overdosing kick start
Reminds me of the time
When i was really sick and i
Had too much psuedoefedryn and i
Couldn't sleep at night
Halfway down high street, andy looks ambivalent
He's probably wondering what i'm doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks i'm clever cos i play guitar
I think she's clever cos she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super hypocondriactic

I much prefer the mundane.
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs.
I'm not that good at breathing in.
2019. heard this in bojack. love this song now!
why she looks like that guy from fur
Havin trouble breathin in
Be better if they were wearing Volleys. Not Courtney...she's in her Blunnies for that essential dag factor.
It all goes from the VU on down...
Everyone: *That one Bojack Horseman quote*
HNC every quote gets a little easier
Lil Bozy but you gotta quote it every day. That’s the hard part
Landon Patton but it does get easier
When I listen this song, I think that i want to be free for good.
I feel proactive, I pull out weeds, all of a sudden, I'm havin trouble breathin in :)
God I love this song, I got so excited the first time I heard it. Then she hooked up with kurt vile and I though, another seed gone to waste. There was something there when this came out, too bad she wasn't strong enough to kick it up.
Simply brilliant. Some kind of McCartney.
Somebody else was expecting a music video about gardening?
Sportney Barnett
Bloody brilliant x
yeah yeah dylan used to care .. but things have changed ..
She helped me to remember that indie rock is just regular rock performed by people who can't sing.
me neither, love ya friend
x 1 .25 speed
is that my boy Fraser A umpiring?
I bet Wes Anderson listens to this.
44-241aw
Are they playing on the Parquet Courts I've been hearing so much aboot?
why they playing tennis is badminton racquets?
*blah, blah, blah all her songs are blah, blah, blah... say it again.*
Sounds like having fun with an electroharmonix poly chorus, I miss mine dearly. It cost $200 back in 2000 and cost 195 to fix, yep. Not good for a kid in highschool
I remember moving to Oakland in the summer of 2015. Somehow, life seemed easier and more fun then. Moving up in position and gaining more responsibilities isn't all it's cracked up to be. Lol Shout out KALX 90.7FM.
the cadence and apathy of her lyrics reminded me of the chats. australia must be pretty cool 😎
Courtney Barnett makes me feel nostalgic because her voice sounds exactly like every character on Neighbours, did to me, while I watched it twice a day, as a perma-stoned student.
Bonza!
I still think that this is her best song.
She sounds like Elliott Smith on valium or something, so beautiful. Im buying all her shit on vinyl like right now. Love you Courtney.
I sleep in later

Good title
Is Courtney Barnett ???Paul McCartneys illegitimate Son ???
I cant stop listening to the line “anything to take my mind away from where it’s supposed to be”. Its so cathartic.
Oh. Oh God! lungs on fire. OW!....Crap! I hate this! Running is terrible! Everything is the worst! *gasps for air* Oh my god! *falls to the ground* Oh my god.
*epic it gets easier speech*
........Ok.
most of it doesnt rhyme but it all fits so wonderfully
chaotically
*TOGETHER*
This is the first youtube video I can watch on this widescreen monitor without letter-boxing.
i love this sheila
Asthmatics rise up ✊😤
I feel like the jury is god and the players are humans
Its 104°F outside today😩
I take a hit from an asthma puffer, I do it wrong, I was never good at smoking bongs.
It's currently 40°C in large parts of Europe, and I constantly have to think about this song.
Makes bearing these hellish temperatures a bit easier.
I fuckin love this song <3
Anyonee from bojack the horseman?
She's understand me.
I want to change my name to Avant Gardener 😂
I don't know Why but this video makes me laugh 😂😂 but specific the fight 😂😂😂. Well done my girl 😳😍😍 #iloveCoutneyBarnett
Not the best music video out there
I got on the same shoes as Courtney ❤😄
this video feels like it's cropped
Never heard of her until this past weekend at Bonnaroo. I was on acid and somehow followed the bass line to her performance. You have a new fan!
everything is the worst.
Huh I'm from Barnet
trinklets anyonev
Strange
The end bit would be awkward for me, Courtney Barnett looks like my ex girlfriend!
I'm not that good at breathin in...
clay court
she kinda looks like Maggie Gyllenhaal
Avant Gardener - truly an avantgard title for a song! Lovin it.
