[00:33.98] |
Turn and run nothing can stop them |
[00:39.20] |
Around every river and canal their power is growing |
[00:48.06] |
Stamp them out we must destroy them |
[00:53.27] |
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odor |
[01:01.48] |
They are invincible |
[01:04.74] |
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering |
[01:10.39] |
|
[01:19.08] |
Long ago in the Russian hills |
[01:24.62] |
A Victorian explorer found |
[01:29.77] |
The regal hogweed by a marsh |
[01:34.02] |
He captured it and brought it home |
[01:40.36] |
|
[01:46.13] |
Botanical creature stirs seeking revenge |
[01:55.21] |
Royal beast did not forget |
[02:00.99] |
He came home to London |
[02:04.89] |
And made a present of the hogweed |
[02:10.07] |
To the royal gardens at Kew |
[02:15.97] |
|
[02:23.03] |
Waste no time they are approaching |
[02:28.26] |
Hurry now we must protect ourselves and find some shelter |
[02:37.26] |
Strike by night they are defenseless |
[02:42.61] |
They all need the sun to photo sensitize their venom |
[02:50.56] |
Still they're invincible |
[02:53.90] |
Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering |
[02:59.37] |
|
[03:08.32] |
Fashionable country gentlemen |
[03:13.95] |
Had some cultivated wild gardens |
[03:19.30] |
In which they innocently planted |
[03:23.72] |
The giant hogweed throughout the land |
[03:29.52] |
|
[03:35.45] |
Botanical creature stirs seeking revenge |
[03:44.47] |
Royal beast did not forget |
[03:50.28] |
Soon they escaped spreading their seed |
[03:55.03] |
Preparing for an onslaught |
[03:59.18] |
Threatening the human race |
[04:04.82] |
|
[06:30.25] |
Mighty hogweed is avenged |
[06:33.50] |
Human bodies soon will know anger |
[06:43.20] |
Kill them with your hogweed hairs |
[06:46.38] |
Heracleun mantegazzani |
