Ok... this is the first post that feels like homework to me...lets get over with this...
Ok.....now...The songwriter wrote about Paving paradise and building a carpark right...?Right.
He probably means that due to the needs of globalisation, the once beautiful natural forests and grasslands which were filled with all things natural and beautiful was taken away and replaced with carparks and industrial buildings. Okay.... now for the second one i'm going to interpret.
Cutting down the trees and having the need to pay to look at them in museums?Ok this probably means that due to globalisation, the once abundant green scenery full of trees and all things natural are going extinct and that it became so limited that we had to see it in a museum as if it were something legendary and precious.
And the third one is "
Hey farmer farmer, Put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples, But leave me the birds and the bees, Please!"
This probably means that the writer would rather have imperfect looking apples then have the animals killed by the pesticide they use on the plants.
(I think she feels sightly irritated by the whole globalisation thing?)
I didn't like the original composer's(joni) voice and so i found one which i really liked, the same song was performed by Counting Crows featuring Vanessa Carlton(Babe)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsPh_8Dxl3E
Finally! got it done!

You can be seriously witty and incisive when you are sufficiently engaged! I enjoyed reading your entries because you have a sense of humour. I can't believe you like Richard Marx, he was one of the hottest singers when I was a teen with songs like "Right here waiting for you" which they used to play to death early in the mornings with a horrible instrumental lift muzak when you are reading!
