The Garbage Man by joeysongs

The story behind the garbage man is that I came into the kitchen early one tuesday morning and started talking to linda while I made my coffee. She was looking out the window onto the street not paying any attention to me. When I ask her what she was looking at she said “hold on a second”
Just then the garbage truck came and lifted our garage can off the ground and dumped it into its garbage truck self with a huge amount of hydraulic racket, then drove away.
Then she turned to me and said “ok, now what were you saying again?”
When I asked her what that was all about she said “oh, well, I just love the garbage man. I love how he comes to our house and just takes away all the shit we don’t want. It fills me with a kind of satisfaction that is hard to describe”
and with that, I wrote the song…
