The Return of the Giant Hogweed Lyrics & Tabs by Steve Hackett
The Return of the Giant Hogweed
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,
And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew
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 defenceless
They all need the sun to photosensitize 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.
