In the liner notes to the Strategies Against Architecture III album, Blixa explains the genesis of this song.
While at a Goya exhibition at The Prado Museum in Madrid in 1994, Blixa overheard a conversation in which one “elderly” lady said to another
You will find me if you want me in the garden,...
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me waiting for spring and summer
You will find me waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripen
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of conciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain
Einstürzende Neubauten released The Garden on Tue Jul 23 1996.
