    Story Behind the Song
    I was sitting on my porch wondering how I ended up in this conservative 50's fantasy of a suburban town

    Lyrics
    I walk out my front door I feel the breeze
    It's blowing through my maple tree
    I watch the leaves wave at me
    I see my neighbor's dog walk down the street
    He looks up and smiles at me
    Showing off his white teeth

    Oh, another Saturday afternoon
    On my suburban street everything looks so nice
    Oh, a lovely Saturday afternoon
    I think it's worth it despite the hefty price

    The mowers and the blowers and the trimming sheers
    The sound is so deafening I have to plug my ears
    The pool and the schools and the hockey leagues
    I am exhausted trying to keep up with these

    Oh, another Saturday afternoon
    On my suburban street everything look so nice
    Oh, a lovely Saturday afternoon
    I left the city to escape the crime and vice

    But I want to stay for a while before I move along
    Yes I want to stay for a while before I move along
    Oh I want to stay for a while before I move along
    Yes I want to stay for a while, for a while

    And I swing on my porch while the rain poars down
    It's just me and there's no one else around
    As it falls the rain makes a lovely sound
    But I imagine I am drowning

    And I swing on my porch watch the falling leaves
    Bright colors on my maple tree
    As they fall they are lifted by the breeze
    And they're slowly suffocating me

    Oh, I've a mouthful of leaves
    Oh, I can't breath

    I close my front dorr and I watch TV
    I shut the blinds so I can't see
    And nobody can see me
    Is it so much to want some privacy
    I don't know any of these people
    And they don't know me

    Oh, a lovely Saturday afternoo
