LYRICS

Whale meat again
Under the sun
Every twelve minutes and another one’s gone
His meat is in your makeup
His flesh is on your lips
As a nuclear warhead explodes in his hips
Scientist’s are saying
We’ve got to do something soon
But sitting around talking about it
Ain’t gonna stop that harpoon
Whale meat again when will it end
Not till everything is dead

Woman is in labour
She screams at the sky
Somebody take the pain away
I’m gonna lay here and die
Doctor rushes in and puts a needle in her skin
And say’s “Oh come on you really must try”
If you go slowly then you won’t be lonely
But everybody keeps on rushing around
It’s bringing me down

Mr Politician can’t you see
You’re gonna kill everything including you and me
So while you’re talking in your expensive clothes
I think somebody’s gonna shove something

Right up your nose

 

The whale boats are sailing
Tonight they will be whaling
There gonna be frying tonight
Oh beauty and all the love
Oh God if you’re really up above
Do something now
