the song of the shingle
the weave of the wave
the shrieks of the sea gulls
a watery grave
of crippling quota’s
and corporate greed
production destruction
but who does it feed
the locals
the small fishermen
in the boats
where does it end?
into whose throats
the storm clouds now gather
the fight is now on
the corporate trawlers
will soon be upon
the weave of the wave
and the salt of the sea
the production destruction
and the sanity
of the small local fishermen
doesn’t go far
who stick firm and fast
to the quota’s that are
starving their businesses
and limiting trade
whilst the bloody great trawlers
their vast catches laid
in their processing holds
and the small local men
they do not get paid
Governments clearly
have no thoughts for those
who have plied these waters
and clearly don’t pose
any great problem
for diversity
but are getting nobbled
now, tragically
Europe is after them
Policies swell
a nightmare for some
and a watery Hell.

Nature will rebel
Will give Hell
To such large trespass
Those mighty trawlers
That try to fool us
Will sink beneath
The oceans deep
Leaving relatives to weep
when Nature decides
Enough is Enough
