lyrics

7- THE LAND OF LUSH
Local
Shopkeeper: I’m glad I own a liquor store
It keeps me off the streets
We’re drinking alcohol constantly
No cop patrols the street
They’re much too drunk to anyway
the people laugh and sing
Towns
people: A monument to the peaceful life,
our living Land of Lush
And everyone should go out dancing
when they leave this land of ours
Nobody wants to go out and destroy
This is the real McCoy,
: This is HIGH

Nobody’s ever out of beer or rye
Our fountains flow with wine, light or dry

Seed/ Chillum &
Townspeople: Is this the perfect high?

Shopkeeper: My father drank since infancy
My mother starts at six
The modern way to a happy life
No one wants to quit
There’s no confusion, there’s no push and shove
We’re always hearing voices from above
All: THIS IS THE PERFECT HIGH.

( After many weeks here, Seed & Chillum decide they must move on. Even the thought of missing the annual Blind Lemon Pledge Barbecue and Drunkathon can’t deter them from their sacred quest. For many other lands, with different pleasures lie ahead.

Hidden by his portable bush, Nasty Nattie plots his next move…..)

They have been described as the illegitimate flower-child of The Who, The Beatles, XTC, The Kinks, Mrs. Miller and Cheap Trick. Power-pop, cleverly-stupid, quiet is the new loud. ... more
