The Return Of The Giant Hogweed Lyrics - Genesis Revisited Ii - Steve Hackett

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

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 

Photos 

Mighty Hogweed is avenged. 

Human bodies soon will know our anger. 

Kill them with your Hogweed hairs
