about

Goodbye to all the animals, all the plants, and all the air.
we only have ourselves to blame.

NB;- This track has swearing on the chorus. If you want a clean version, see our third album, which has a radio/family friendly version called
'Goodbye to Everything' included on it.

lyrics

Goodbye to the Hippo

Goodbye to the hippo, the panda and the whale
Goodbye to the slug and the cheeky little snail

We should have planned it, we should have banned it
Now we’ve fucked up the planet, its too fucked up to inhabit

Goodbye to mahogany and other hardwood trees
Hallo to bleeding gums and immune deficiencies
Au revoir to the Dodo, we’re sorry you had to go go go

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 be fore 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

I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me ... more
