Weeds II (The Origin Of The Species) - Pulp

This is the true story of the weeds:

The origin of the species

A story of cultivation

Exploitation civilization

Found flowering on wasteland unnoticed

Unofficial accidental

A cutting was taken but weeds do not thrive under

Hothouse conditions &

Wilt when in competition with more exotic strains

A charming naivety very short flowering season;

No sooner has the first blooming begun

Than decay sets in

Bring your camera take photo of

Life on the margins

Offer money in exchange for sex &

Then get a taxi home

The story has always been the same

A source of wonder due to their ability

To thrive on poor quality soil offering

Very little nourishment

Drinking 'nurishment'

But weeds must be kept under strict control or

They will destroy everything in their path

Growing wild then harvested in their prime &

Passed around at dinner parties

Care for some w**d

So natural so wild so unrefined &

Someone's gonna make a fortune one day

If only they can market this stuff right

Come on: do your dance

Come on do your funny little dance

Germination plantation exploitation

This is the story of the weeds:

The origin of the species
