Genesis - The Return Of The Giant Hogweed lyrics

Your rating:

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 odour
 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

 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 anger
 Kill them with your Hogweed hairs
