Title
- (Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)
- Watcher of the skies watcher of all
- His is a world alone no world is his own,
- He whom life can no longer surprise,
- Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown.
- Creatures shaped this planet's soil,
- Now their reign has come to an end,
- Has life again destroyed life,
- Do they play elsewhere, do they know
- more than their childhood games?
- Maybe the lizard's shed its tail,
- This is the end of man's long union with Earth.
- Judge not this race by empty remains
- Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead?
- For now, the lizard's shed it's tail
- This is the end of man's long union with Earth.
- From life alone to life as one,
- Think not now your journey's done
- For though your ship be sturdy, no
- Mercy has the sea,
- Will you survive on the ocean of being?
- Come ancient children hear what I say
- This is my parting council for you on your way.
- Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars
- Where we have gone you know you never can go.
- Watcher of the skies watcher of all
- This is your fate alone, this fate is your own.
- (Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)
- [John Pebble of Styx Enterprises]
- "Get 'em out by Friday!
- You don't get paid till the last one's well on his way.
- Get 'em out by Friday!
- It's important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay."
- [Mark Hall of Styx Enterprises (otherwise known as "The Winkler")]
- "I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this
- house and all the others in the road,
- In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you
- to go, go-woh, go-woh"
- [Mrs. Barrow (a tenant)]
- "Oh no, this I can't believe,
- Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave."
- [Mr. Pebble]
- "Get 'em out by Friday!
- I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay.
- And if it isn't easy,
- You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away."
- [Mrs. Barrow]
- "After all this time, they ask us to leave,
- And I told them we could pay double the rent.
- I don't know why it seemed so funny,
- Seeing as how they'd take more money.
- The winkler called again, he came here this morning,
- With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found.
- A block of flats with central heating.
- I think we're going to find it hard."
- [Mr. Pebble]
- "Now we've got them!
- I've always said that cash cash cash can do anything well.
- Work can be rewarding
- When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you
- excel-sell-sell-sell."
- [Mr. Hall]
- "Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block
- across the square, over there,
- Sadly since last time we spoke, we've found we've had to raise
- the rent again,
- just a bit."
- [Mrs. Barrow]
- "Oh no, this I can't believe
- Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave."
- (a passage of time)
- 18/9/2012 T.V. Flash on all Dial-A-Program Services
- This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
- "It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
- humanoid height."
- [Extract from coversation of Joe Ordinary in Local Puborama]
- "I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
- properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
- It's said now that people will be shorter in height,
- they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
- (they say it's alright),
- Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
- in the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go,
- told they must go-go-go-go."
- [Sir John De Pebble of United Blacksprings International]
- "I think I've fixed a new deal
- A dozen properties - we'll buy at five and sell at thirty four,
- Some are still inhabited,
- It's time to send the winkler to see them,
- he'll have to work some more."
- [Memo from Satin Peter of Rock Development Ltd.]
- With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth
- Then invest in the Church for your heaven.
- (Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)
- Turn and run!
- Nothing can stop them,
- Around every river and canal their power is growing.
- Stamp them out!
- We must destroy them,
- They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour.
- They are invincible,
- They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering.
- Long ago in the Russian hills,
- A Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh,
- He captured it and brought it home.
- Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
- Royal beast did not forget.
- He came home to London,
- And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew.
- Waste no time!
- They are approaching.
- Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
- Strike by night!
- They are defenceless.
- They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom.
- Still they're invincible,
- Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering.
- Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens,
- In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land.
- Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge.
- Royal beast did not forget.
- Soon they escaped, spreading their seed,
- Preparing for an onslaught, threatening the human race.
- The Dance Of The Giant Hogweed
- Mighty Hogweed is avenged.
- Human bodies soon will know our anger.
- Kill them with your Hogweed hairs
- HERACLEUM MANTEGAZZIANI
- Giant Hogweed lives
