Seabirds calling on the wind to tell me what they saw
Plastic islands floating out upon the water
And where will we run to, darling
When this world is gone?
And who will we turn to, darling
If we've got no-one?
Seabirds calling on the wind to tell me what they saw
Bloated bodies sinking down into the water
Seabirds calling on the wind to tell me what they saw
Dying oceans everywhere, across the water

HEY GIACINTO! IT’S YOUR YANKEE FRIEND!
And Yankee Sam glances over
With waspish smile
Westward wind begins to howl
And carries scent
Of rotting flesh
Sam wears carrion glasses
And cap-toed Derby’s
The colour of bone char
Illegally imported Cuban cigar
Hangs between his lips
HEY SAM HOW ARE YA?
HEY SAM HOW YA BEEN?
And great Baptist Sam
Walks strange dog on a chain
Creature without form
Non - Euclidian, smoky
Opens tentacled maw and
Barks like metal grinding
Circular saw on bone
The march of semi - human feet
Through fetid bogland
The ghost of medicine Bill
Rises from the mire and yells
GET A JOB, DICKHEAD! GET TO WORK CATHOLIC SCUM! KILL EVERY BUFFALO YOU CAN! EVERY BUFFALO DEAD IS AN INDIAN GONE!
Hot young tech entrepreneur
Smokes a little hash
On commercial / spiritual retreat
Sent visions otherworldly
By various demiurges
And this carnal metropole
Gasps in horror
As issued from his right hand
Blood boils through
Pipes beneath the Western plains
And the heaped skulls
Of the predestined - damned
Cry together in chorus
I’M GOING WITH MY GATLING GUN TO THE PLACE WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM!
AND ONLY THE GREAT PAN HIMSELF SHALL KNOW THE PLACE WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM!

Who are those living in the blue?
OCEAN!
Who are those living in the green?
JUNGLE!
Who will remember?
Clouded One!
Lonesome George!
Black Faced Honey Creeper!
Cryptic Tree Hunter!
Who are those living in the blue?
OCEAN!
Everybody loves the sunshine!
Just trees and things and flowers.
What once was a stream,
now is just a dream!
And it ain't gonna rain no more!
Now that my baby is gone!

Song for the Argali Sheep
Tiger Tiger, burning bright
In the cold Siberian night,
Clouded Leopard, Red Gazelle
Christmas Island Pipistrelle…
Hummingbird and Armadillo,
Elephant and Steller’s Sea Cow
Chimpanzee, Rhinoceros
(with his crossbow) Albatross…
Hawksbill Turtle, Cat’s Paw Clam
Flying Fox, Orangutan,
Humpback Dolphin diving deep
Mongolian Argali sheep…
Open Season on Trump’s son
Shoot him with his laser gun,
Show no mercy as he pleads, it’s
what he shows to Rare Endangered Species…
