Raking Leaves from Certain Memories by Assistant
All three members of Assistant get a lot of satisfaction from gardening and the performance of seasonal duties. This is a song about tidying things away. Pete sings this one, and his playful sense of humour is evident in the line “I don’t know what I’m doing it for / Is it all a metaphor? / Or just a chore?”

Lyrics
I've been raking leaves
ever since November
Just raking leaves
Goes on forever
Apple leaves
Cherry leaves
Lilac leaves
Beech leaves
Smokebush leaves
Do as I please
I don't know what I'm doing it for.
Is it all a metaphor
or just a chore?
Raking leaves
I've been raking leaves
ever since November.
