Friends of the Earth You saw me today and lets be frank I was down at the bottle bank - With Hank I put in my glass - and Hank made a pass I won’t deny that it don’t mean a thing Cos I was out recycling - With Jim I kissed him again - and again and again and again You were keen to make romantic plans But I was happy just crushing cans - with Hans He’s from Germany - and he showed me his wormery I hang around with loads of new men Who are non sexist and are into Zen you tried to show me what your love was worth But I ran away… - With the Friends of the Earth You wanted to go out on a date But I’d already gone out to demonstrate - With Jake He was on a mission – to ban nuclear fission you asked me out for a candlelit meal I said no thanks cos I don’t eat veal - With Neal He runs a crèche - and he was getting fresh I don’t want a relationship with you So I blew you out for a lentil stew - With Lou Yeah I can be a vegan - If he can Chorus You sat at home waiting for my call But I was out at the green peace stall - With Saul He had some old chat up line - about showing me his wind turbine But I guess you realised it was over The day you caught me buying Ecover - With Rover Cos Rovers a Dog - Yes, I prefer that dog to you Cos Rovers the dog that I set free The night I raided the laboratory - With Lee Cos Lee’s a cool cat - He even wears a fake fur leopard skin pill box hat

Traffic Sucking Robots A zombie hides a bowling ball deep in the woods The ocean makes a deal with a rattlesnake One robot wrote a book in a coffee break Here come the traffic sucking robots A turkey goes running on a soft cheese wheel A blood clot sells a building to a tub of margarine One robot wrote a book in a submarine Here come the traffic sucking robots The chain saw learns to dance the blind Rumba A salad dressing lives with a dirty string vest One robot wrote a book in a vulture’s nest Here come the traffic sucking robots The educated asteroid sings out of tune The power drill is gentle, but eats the giraffe One robot wrote a book in a Turkish bath Here come the traffic sucking robots

...there goes the bell and the front four move away So the crowd start to open their mouths And the blond German stops mum ironing This is long distance running...

I’m thinking No, maybe, well ok I’m thinking Yes, maybe, no way Guess you wonder what I’m thinking So do I, So do I, I wonder that about you Guess you wonder what I’m gonna say So do I, So do I, I wonder that about you Guess you wonder why we are together So do I, So do I, but then I start to think your great Guess you sometimes wish we never met So do I, So do I, but then I start to think I love you

CROSSOVER 05:48
Crossover Crossing the Sahara desert with a pack of wolves I’m a silly Billy - I should have known they’d eat me up Swimming the north Atlantic with school of sharks I’m a silly Billy - I should have known they’d eat me up Sugar, bother - What’ll I do ? Put the sharks on land and drown the wolves Sledging across the Arctic with a Polar bear I’m a silly Billy - I should have known he’d break my back Sweating in the tropical heat with a 10 foot Python I’m a silly Billy - I should have known he’d break my back Sugar, bother - What’ll I do? Put the snake on ice and boil the bear

Goodbye to Everything Goodbye to the Tiger, the Tortoise and the Whale Goodbye to the Buffalo, the slug and the cheeky little snail We should have planned it, we should have banned it Now we’ve messed up the planet, its too messed up to inhabit Goodbye to the Elephant and the Grisly Bear Hallo to bleeding gums and loosing all your hair Goodbye to mahogany and all those hardwood trees They made good doors but now they’ve gone, along with all the bees Goodbye to the motor car, this time we’ve gone too far There’s no Brent Crude left in the jar – we couldn’t stem the flow Now its spread like black jam, over the beaches of Mexico Goodbye to everything we use to hold so dear We used to act so clever, now everything is clear We use to gaze up at beautiful sunny skies That was before the retinas Were burnt out of our eyes We used to watch Dolphins cavorting in the seas That was before we ate them all in tuna fish sandwiches We use to face the future without a care Now we’ve got to face the future without any air

about

...and the Native Hipsters UK

What started out as a live band evolved into an ongoing recording project. My latest album - ...and the GOLDEN HAMMER is mainly me singing so it's no longer listed under the native hipster name. The album before that 'Hard Noise To Scumrise is mainly just pure noise.
I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me
