Things come to a head on the irresistible “Garbage Man”, which tells the story of a young girl infatuated with, who else, the neighborhood’s smelly, unkempt sanitation worker. The song’s “smurfs on acid” “la la la” chorus puts the finishing touch on a work of truly twisted beauty. It’ll never be confused with “Strawberry Fields Forever”, but much like that Beatles’ masterwork, it’s fair to say that there’s never been another song quite like it.
It’s doubtful that you’ll find this album on any list of “classics”, although if exuberance counted, you should. The energy level here is high enough to wake your grandmother from a coma, which means, for all the album’s faults, the Hook has accomplished the mission. You may not like them, but they couldn’t care less. They’re having too much fun on their own!

The Hook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's explore this tenderness between us
There ain't no one around at all to see us
And baby would you mind
If maybe you and I
Took a little time to find each other?
Baby, we got all the time in the world
We got everything we need
To plant a lovin' seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Stay down
Stay at least until the fire stops burnin'
At least until the room has stopped its turnin'
And when the embers dyin' low
We're lyin' in the afterglow
It'll be as sweet as anything we've ever known
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow?
We got everything we need
To plant a lovin' seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow?
We got everything we need
To plant a lovin' seed
And all the time we need to watch it grow
Baby, we got all the time in the world
So why don't we just take it nice and slow?...
