the return of the giant hogweed
Singer:hackett, steve
around every river and canal their power is growing
they infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour
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
royal beast did not forget
and made a present of the hogweed to the royal gardens at kew
we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
they all need the sun to photosensitize their venom
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
royal beast did not forget
preparing for an onslaught
threatening the human race
the dance of the giant hogweed
mighty hogweed is avenged
human bodies soon will know our anger
kill them with your hogweed hairs
