THE TALE OF THE GIANT STONE EATER
Hear this
The tale of the giant stone eater
Gather round boys and girls and listen
to the tale of the giant stone eater
and how the earth was ravaged
during the years of the great stone shortage
Raised the price of diesel oil
and yellow painted signs
zigzagged black lines of warning
another tree dies of shame
Sudden savage shining solid soiled solid sanded steel
shuddering shattering shovelling until the
sabre toothed rooter roots the earth
the eater eats his fill and is not satisfied
and roars and revs his mathematical rage
on the footprints of Vikings
trapped on a sonic tape recorder
ten million years old
ten million years old
ten million years old
A broken antler points the way to the still pond
where reflections of bonnie Prince Charlie lies wounded in the
shallow water sun shining on chrome surfaces
protecting the tales of a grandfather
march on!
Journeys unstarted measure space for future parking lots
journeys unstarted measure space
journeys unstarted measure space for the future
and
underneath a million tons of cold lava
a brontasaurus lies wrong way up
right way straight ahead
hamburgers at the barn dance tonight!
average speed 100 mph
sixteen lane highways cross the meadows
Plastic space agents selling candy-floss contracts
bells ringing "ring ring" split, grind and grovel
lost iron relics ringing on the cold stone
A spated river flows up hill
directions change in the New Age rain on Tuesdays
Thursdays guaranteed dry!
guaranteed dry
while handmade golf courses
weary of trickery and fraud
grey slates remain grey slates
floods as required
life silently reforms in the pools of stagnation
each layer a civilisation
buy your own layer
The eater eats again retches roars and vomits
his computerised future is bright with security
headshrinkers analyse the unknown
Meanwhile another tree dies of shame
and another tree dies of shame.....
and another...
And that
boys and girls
was the tale
of the giant stone eater.....

Builds nicely. Is one of my favourite pop songs.
Though I prefer the original:

And for those who want to indulge in a slice of 70's nostalgia, this live studio version:

....the thought 'where are they now?' 'pops' poignantly into one's head.
