Standing on the pavement
outside your great store
watching your security men
open and shut the door
I have got my megaphone
Robert’s here with me
we have got our banners up
its how it has to be
the street is full of vehicles
there’s people passing by
we are ranting to the world
some may wonder why
Harvey Nicholls thinks its right
to import clothes with fur
the dead bodies of sweet animals
who of course once were
alive and living peacefully
where they were told to be
in the forest on the plains
all of them were free
then some blasted ugly
left a leg hold trap
and this wild soul was captured
had to take that rap
it smashed through its bones rapidly
it died a violent death
screaming to the sky above
fighting hard for breath
it left behind its lady
it left behind its child
its felt the pang of evil
that drives an angel wild
I put it to the passers by
why they wear dead skin
those wearing it
looked ignorant
as ignorant as sin
pale they looked away from me
they didn’t wish to hear
they didn’t want a leaflet even
so it did appear
I sat outside the store I did
ranting on my megaphone
folowing Robert’s clarion calls
all the words we each had known
watching people come and go
wearing fur up and below
clearly some dont want to know
they think that I’m a so and so
protesting on the street today
telling those who walk this way
animals were born to be
living in their skin you see
human beings come along
trapping wild ones which is wrong
stripping off their skin so they
can stitch it into clothes today
there are materials all around
that come from hemp and cotton
pound
for pound
much better than
the animals skin
much prettier too
and much less sin
front line stuff
outside the store
Harvey Nicholls I implore
why do you deal in dead bodies for
profit based on blood and gore
it can’t make sense
to draw this stuff
so negative
we’ve had enough
surely by now the message you
are hearing is what you must do
is stop these imports and let sense prevail
accept the facts
we do not fail
we wont give up
we wont back down
whilst you sell fur
we shall be in town
its up to you to say okay
we agree
to all you say
cruelty is sick I know
its not like a haircut
its a bad show
they die in abject agony
stripped alive for all to see
imagine the pain
it drives them sick
we really ought to miss this trick
its not as if you need profit that bad
that really you have to be awfully sad
stripping the souls down to the bone
these have feelings
and they moan
and they cry and they bleed
and they die
the die indeed
#
to make a profir
profit is that all
Hav
rvey Nicholls be ashamed
yes of course yes you are blames
selling carto loads to these people
some who did not know
some who did not care
some are very rare
today
