Sempreverde

Lyrics

The man from the north enters the tube
 Wriggles his way to the perspex cube
 The man from the south dissolves in his mouth
 A lozenge of Sempreverde
 The man from the north and the man from the south
 One by the brain, one by the mouth
 Climb through the tube into the cube
 Of the perspex Japanese garden
 And in the pines a tiny sun shines
 Birds small as insects fly through the air
 The panda unzips the skin of a pig
 Flops himself down in the garden
 Fiddle me blank, fiddle me blind
 All the young girls fiddle their minds
 Jilly and Debbie and everyone's here
 All for the Sempreverde
 Giants and fairies and strange effigies
 Sacred and artificial trees
 Dragons and serpents and fish and birds
 In the perspex Japanese garden
 Otto the rich, Otto the poor
 Spilling the stuff on the party floor
 The past is so sad, the present is worse
 Thank heaven we haven't a future
 The world fills with trash and Eskimo ash
 Clouds of white gas floating in from the past
 Crawl to the cashpoint, bring me the cash
 And I'll get you the Sempreverde
 I said 'I'm going to rape you'
 She said okay
 I said 'Don't say okay because then it's not rape'
 She said 'Okay, I won't say okay'
 On two tabs of Sempreverde
 Evergreen Sempreverde
