Just a guitar and some over-the-top production techniques.

Some guy with too much time on his hands, messing around with technology he doesn't really understand and a complete lack of musical knowledge.
I am The Shed Man, The Shed Man is me, he lives in my garden,I live up a tree. If you were to join us, then we would be three just you, yourself, The Shed Man and me. Wait a minute.....that's four!!

Story behind the song
Picture the scene: you're a small boy, it's your birthday and you're out playing on your own by the flooded, disused quarry you've so often been warned to stay away from. It's a still, warm summer's day, crows cawing in the distance and clouds of insects swarming above the stagnant water. You slip and fall into the water and though you can swim, your leg gets trapped in the wreckage of a burnt out car abandoned in the quarry and you struggle violently but hopelessly to free yourself. You shout for help and though your voice echoes around the sides of the quarry, there's no-one else around and no-one can hear you. Gradually your struggling weakens you and despite several valliant last attempts, you slip below the surface, your lungs fill with water and slowly you drown. Well, that's never happened to me but that was the image that kept coming into my head while I was creating this so it'll have to do.
Lyrics
Help, help, for fuck's sake somebody get me out of here, I'm drowning!!
