Return Of The Giant Hogweed (Live at The Royal Albert Hall, London, UK / 2013) - 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 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 our anger

Kill them with your hogweed hairs

Heracleum mantegazziani
