Heracleum mantegazzainum is in the news again!

However, old school Genesis fans don't need GB News' explanation of the history of the Giant Hogweed.

From the album Nursery Cryme; The Return of the Giant Hogweed


Turn and run!
Nothing can stop them
Around every river and canal their power is growing
Stamp them out!
We must destroy them
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour
They are invincible
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering

Long ago in the Russian hills
A Victorian explorer found
The regal Hogweed by a marsh
He captured it and brought it home

Botanical creature stirs! Seeking revenge...
Royal beast did not forget
He came home to London
And made a present of the Hogweed
To the Royal Gardens at Kew

Waste no time!
They are approaching
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
Strike by night!
They are defenceless
They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom
Still they're invincible
Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering

Fashionable country gentlemen
Had some cultivated wild gardens
In which they innocently planted
The Giant Hogweed throughout the land

Botanical creature stirs! Seeking revenge...
Royal beast did not forget
Soon they escaped to Streatham, their seed
Preparing for an onslaught
Threatening the human race

Mighty Hogweed is avenged!
Human bodies soon will know our anger
Kill them with your Hogweed hairs!
Heracleum Mantegazziani

Hiya

New member here.
This is a truly great and overlooked Genesis track.
Does anyone have the 70-75 CD box set? They ruined that track with the remix. 
Always go back to the vinyl for the monstrous heavy organ chord progression at the end. Doom metal prog!

Best

I too love the sound of Nursery Cryme & Selling England, have original copies of both. Have been blown away this week by Strawbs “Grave New World” borrowed off older brother. How come I’ve never heard it before?!
