The Return Of The Giant Hogweed Lyrics - Nursery Cryme - Genesis

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 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
