‘David’ is a missive to Davey referenced in the third verse but may also be named after David Bowie. The chord progression is reminiscent of Bowie’s ‘Jean Genie’ and Barnett has been known to segue into a cover of that song from this one in live performances.
[Verse 1]
If you see me when I’m feeling down
I don’t know if I want you around
[Hook]
Don’t want you around
Don't want you around
Don't want you around
Don't want you around
[Verse 2]
I don’t really like any of your friends
But it’s not that hard for me to pretend
[Hook]
Hard to pretend
Hard to pretend
Hard to pretend
Hard to pretend
[Verse 3]
Come on, Davey, let’s go plant a tree
You bring the spade; I’ll bring the seeds
[Hook]
I’ll bring the seeds
I'll bring the seeds
I'll bring the seeds
I'll bring the seeds
