1. Album version, 4'45.
   Released on Go 2.

   Aware: “The gong sounds in the song . . . were made by two lampshades struck with a pen.”

Andy: “Dave's actually playing the little tune over the slight return [on ‘The Mole from the Ministry’], and it's the main riff behind ‘Life is good in the Greenhouse’ on Go 2 being played on a Zippy Zither, about £7, so there's a bit of cross fertilization for you!”

Lyrics

Everybody lives somewhere
Mud hut or igloo
But what I got is the hottest spot
And it's away from you
Everybody says something
Truth lies or both
But dear all your hot air
Don't encourage my growth

Do you wonder why I look so fresh
Do you wonder why I look so tall
Do you wonder why you'll never ever move me
Life is good in the greenhouse
Rather be a plant than be your Mickey Mouse
Life is good in the greenhouse

Everybody eats something
But you won't eat me
You won't get me on your plate
Or have me over for tea
Everybody lives somewhere
Mud hut or igloo
But what I got is the hottest spot
And it's away from you
