Weeds - John Peel 12/08/01
We came across the North Sea
With our carriers on our knees
Wound up in some holdin' camp
Somewhere outside Leeds
Because we do not care to fight
My friends, we are the weeds
Because we got no homes, they call us
"Smelly refugees"
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth
Through cracks in the pavement
(Aaa)
There weeds will grow
The places you don't go
This cut price dairy produce
That turns our bones to dust
You want some entertainment?
Go on, shove it up then, if you must
Make believe you're so turned on
By planting trees and shrubs
But you come 'round to visit us
When you fancy booze an' drugs
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth
Through cracks in the pavement
(Aaa)
There weeds will grow
The places you don't go
Go go, go, go
Go go, go, go
If you think it's a crime
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
It's just a matter of time, yeah
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
For a little time
(For all time)
(Weed, weed, weed, weed)
With our carriers on our knees
Wound up in some holdin' camp
Somewhere outside Leeds
Because we do not care to fight
My friends, we are the weeds
Because we got no homes, they call us
"Smelly refugees"
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth
Through cracks in the pavement
(Aaa)
There weeds will grow
The places you don't go
This cut price dairy produce
That turns our bones to dust
You want some entertainment?
Go on, shove it up then, if you must
Make believe you're so turned on
By planting trees and shrubs
But you come 'round to visit us
When you fancy booze an' drugs
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth
Through cracks in the pavement
(Aaa)
There weeds will grow
The places you don't go
Go go, go, go
Go go, go, go
If you think it's a crime
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
It's just a matter of time, yeah
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah
(We'd like to get you out of your mind)
For a little time
(For all time)
(Weed, weed, weed, weed)
