How High Does the English Grass Grow
Beyond the Estuary: Unveiling Life's Echo in 'How High Does the English Grass Grow'
Lyrics
Have you ever seen the outside?
Questioning if the listener has experienced the world beyond their immediate surroundings.
Working 16 hour days
Describing long and exhausting workdays lasting 16 hours.
Calling out for morning after
Expressing a desire for a new beginning or a positive change the next day.
Going drifting out for days
Indicating a tendency to wander or explore for extended periods.
Everyday of my life I see crowds going by through the telephone
Observing the constant flow of people passing by, likely through a virtual connection.
They're all talking about all the time running out in the stereo
People discussing the perceived scarcity of time, possibly in the context of music.
Somebody tell me how
Pleading for an explanation or guidance on an unspecified matter.
How high does the English grass grow
Pondering the height of English grass, potentially as a metaphor for the limits of growth or understanding.
Doesn’t matter what it means
Emphasizing that the numerical height of the grass doesn't hold significance.
How high does the English grass grow
Reiterating the question about the height of English grass, emphasizing indifference to its meaning.
Never listen so I speak
Stating a lack of receptiveness to advice or information.
Walked down the estuary
Recalling a walk along the estuary, a water passage connected to the sea.
Followed all the people there
Following a crowd to observe their lifestyle or habits.
I like to see just how their living
Expressing an interest in understanding how people live.
There’s someone crying over there
Noticing someone in distress nearby.
Everyday of my life I see stars going by through the telephone
Continuing to observe life, now referencing stars and the telephone as mediums of observation.
Every morning I see with the communists free to go, yeah
Referring to freedom associated with communism in the morning.
Somebody tell me how
Repeating the plea for an explanation about the height of English grass.
How high does the English grass grow

Doesn’t matter what it means

Never listen so I speak
Reiterating a lack of receptiveness to external input.
Have you ever seen the outside?
Repeating the initial question about experiencing the outside world.
