about

A love song about recycling.

lyrics

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

...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 ... more
