I'm an artist and I've pulled a few fat ones off in my time quite by accident. So I can accept that the most mundane crap can be stuck together to make an accidental hit at times, but "Gardener"?
The hurricane and howling at a mom all day doesn't say, "lawnmower man" to me. Sorry. Unless Lucifer did their lawn? Maybe that was it! Was the B-Side to this single, "Satan Is My Grounds Keeper"? In fact, I could stomach the lot of them shooting up heroin with Legion before I could take "Gardener". "Getting High With Satan" was probably the track's original name, based on what I hear about Keith Richards and his outworldly drug repertoire at that time. I've been told Keith did more drugs than there WERE in the 60s.
The song isn't about the gardener, he was only the clever inspiration for the title character.
The song is about the turmoil and the drug-fueled chaos they experienced during their writing and recording of the album 'Their Satanic Majesties Request' . The character is a survivor, a hero in a wild, chaotic, unpredictable world. He's been tried, and has passed all tests, even thrived.
