She's got a mango in the garden - full of mystery
She's got a mango in the garden - from the original tree
She's got a mango in the garden - shares it with me
Humid gleaming precious well
Love to drink that water
Parallel worlds when the sun goes down
The atmosphere grows hotter
She's got a mango in the garden - sweet as can be
She's got a mango in the garden - full of mystery
She's got a mango in the garden - from the original tree
She's got a mango in the garden - shares it with me
I slip through the glistening gate
Tide began to pound
Tears of light poured over me
And ricocheted all around
She's got a mango in the garden - sweet as can be
She's got a mango in the garden - full of mystery
She's got a mango in the garden - from the original tree
She's got a mango in the garden - shares it with me
"She's got a mango in the garden - shares it with me
I slip through the glistening gate"
Eww - I hope this isn't a mettyfor
If it's a metaphor for sex, and you enjoy sex, then there's nothing "ew" about it.
Sometimes a mango is just a mango.
Yeah, that would be more in keeping with Bruce's personality. Though temptations in the garden interpretations are a lot more fun.
It is a mangofore...
Sounds more like a mangle, to help Bruce with his washing?

The word 'mango' sounds very much like the slang word in Japanese for a particular part of the female anatomy. I wonder if that was Bruce's intention?

My Japanese wife tells me the slang word is "awabi" - it's Japanese for abalone. The resemblance to a live abalone is uncanny.
The original poster is correct. The word Jademon was referring to is manko....

Hmmm... The one thing I can't figure out after listening to that song in its entirety is what, exactly, she has in her garden. Anyone?
I'm guessing it's a mango?

For a moment there, I thought she had mayo in her garden... Hmmm...

She's got a XXX in the garden - full of mystery
Really?
The song title is: .... Dinner in Timbuktu , NOT Dinner in Tokyo.
Did you know that Bruce was once upon a time a 'reborn Christian'? His fervour has softened in recent years. But I do not believe I have ever heard him use profanity in conversation, in an interview, talking to audiences or in his lyrics.
I was about to agree when "some son of a bitch would die" popped into my head. I believe I've seen him play three times, all excellent. Miss him kicking the wind chimes.
Research, research, research.
Tiger Woods? 4...play.
7 from the lowlands.
Research, research, research.
Up there with Lenored Cohen
I’m still struggling to figure that out.

Any other questions?
A papaya; duh!

BRUUUUUCE!!!!
...apparently it's sweet, full of mystery, and does a few other things, then some tears poured and ricocheted.
I think he was in a hurry when he was deciding whether to just repeat the same (fairly vacuous) lyric over and over again in this one...
To wit, from "After the Rain:"
After the rain in the streets light flows like blood
I can just taste salt on the humid wind
Here comes that gasoline
Spreading hungry rainbow over shiny black tar
I'm blown like smoke and blind as wind
Except for when your love breaks in
Maybe to those who love is given sight
To pierce the wall of seeming night
And know it pure beyond all imagining
Or from "Tibetan Side of Town:"
Pretty young mother by the temple gate
Covers her baby's face against diesel fumes
That look of concern - you can see it still -
Not yet masked by the hard lines of a woman's
Struggle to survive
Hard bargains going down
When you're living on the Tibetan side of town
Or from "You've Never Seen Everything:"
Nobody's making me say this
I'm talking to you
Been traveling 17 hours
Irradiated by signals, by images
Of viruses, of virtues
Like everyone
Like exiled angels we swing out of the clouds
Above night city-
Fields of light broken by the curve of dark waterways
On the other side of the world
An unhappy teenage girl sets fire
To herself, her house, her neighborhood and some that dwell therein
Sorry simulacrum of sad dawn
You've never seen everything
...apparently it's sweet, full of mystery, and does a few other things, then some tears poured and ricocheted.
Here! Me! ME! I know it. It's a banana, right?
No I think , he's got the banana ,,,,

It would have sounded silly, if it had been a cumquat tree.
Thank you, Bill and Rebecca, for bringing such extraordinary music into my life!

Yah, how shallow of Cockburn to express his gratefulness to his woman for bringing him into her garden, and sharing the mysteries of Eden's innocent sexuality with him! And all of that beautiful music is just a distraction, eh? ~8~

All I can say is: go man-go!

I find myself humming this song to myself every once in a while, even when I haven't listened to RP in a while.

Makes me look at my watch. Some people can make even sexual innuendo numbingly boring. Bruce usually does better.
Mangoes and peaches -- nature's tufted treasures!
How do you want them?
Jellyroll or a donut?
A pie for the oven in the house under the hill. Lip-smackin' good.
Playing the two-finger tango brings a vertical smile to old mossy face.
Bruce even sings and whistles in the dark when he eats out.
Master (Mango) Yoda
i'm digging the mideast rhythms and the original tree
Hey dilly, you must be like 4 years old and have the entire Beavus and Butthead DVD collection.
The mango isn't in "the" garden, it's in "her" garden.
I prescribe 3 years of pop culture and/or lit theory classes.
This song is about a woman's *ahem* genitalia, and how very much Bruce admires her. It's very romantic, and not meaningless at all.
Stop it! Get out! You can't hav'a da mango!
.
From my garden last summer.
For the mango...in her garden
MANGO!
Very funny.
...wait, what does she have in her gar...OH sry, he just answered it 2,367 times kthx.
