The Return of the Giant Hogweed (New Stereo Mix)
guitar chords lyrics
Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them!
Around every river and canal their power is growing.
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them!
They infiltrate each city with their thick, dark warning odor.
They are invincible,
they seem immune to all our herbicidal battering.
Long ago, in the Russian hills,
a Victorian explorer found
the regal hogweed by a marsh.
He captured it and brought it home.
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
Royal beast did not forget.
He came home to London
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
Royal beast did not forget.
He came home to London
and made a present of the hogweed
to the Royal Gardens at Kew.
Waste no time!
They are approaching!
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves
and find some shelter.
Strike by night!
They are defenseless!
They all need the sun to photosenstise
their venom.
Still, they're invincible,
still, they're immune to all our herbicidal battering.
Fashionable country gentlemen
had some cultivated wild gardens
in which they innocently planted
the giant hogweed throughout the land!
Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
Royal beast did not forget.
Soon they escaped, spreading their seed,
preparing for an onslaught,
threatening the human race!
Mighty hogweed is avenged!
Human bodies soon will know our anger!
Kill them with your hogweed hairs!
HERACLEUM MANTEGAZZIANI
ADVANCE!
