| [00:07.34] |
I speak on behalf of the next generation |
| [00:10.89] |
Our sons and our daughters, their children to come |
| [00:14.88] |
What will we leave them for their recreation |
| [00:18.25] |
An oil slick, a pylon, an industrial slum? |
| [00:24.93] |
Leave them a flower, some grass and a hedgerow |
| [00:28.31] |
A hill and a valley, a view to the sea |
| [00:31.94] |
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to |
| [00:35.74] |
A gift given once for eternity |
| [00:45.50] |
We plunder, we pillage, we tear and we tunnel |
| [00:49.41] |
Trees lying toppled, they finger the sky |
| [00:53.04] |
Building a land for machines and computers |
| [00:56.37] |
In the name of progress the farms have to die |
| [01:03.08] |
Leave them a flower, some grass and a hedgerow |
| [01:06.47] |
A hill and a valley, a view to the sea |
| [01:10.02] |
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to |
| [01:13.74] |
A gift given once for eternity |
| [01:20.32] |
Fish in the ocean polluted and poisoned |
| [01:23.85] |
The sand on our beaches all stinking and black |
| [01:27.66] |
We and our tankers and banks and investments |
| [01:31.24] |
Say, never worry, the birds will come back |
| [01:37.70] |
Leave them a flower, some grass and a hedgerow |
| [01:41.08] |
A hill and a valley, a view to the sea |
| [01:44.73] |
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to |
| [01:48.34] |
A gift given once for eternity |
| [02:00.76] |
When the last flower has dropped its last petal |
| [02:04.55] |
When the last concrete is finally laid |
| [02:08.15] |
The moon will shine cold on the nightmarish landscape |
| [02:11.81] |
Our gift to our children, the world that we made |
| [02:18.68] |
Leave them a flower, some grass and a hedgerow |
| [02:22.11] |
A hill and a valley, and a view to the sea |
| [02:25.89] |
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to |
| [02:29.76] |
A gift given once for eternity |
| [02:35.50] |
Eternity |
| [02:39.21] |
Eternity |
| [02:42.91] |
Eternity |
| [02:46.68] |
Eternity |
