We came across the North Sea   With our carriers on our knees   Wound up in some holdin' camp   Somewhere outside Leeds      Because we do not care to fight   My friends, we are the weeds   Because we got no homes, they call us   "Smelly refugees"      Ah ah ah ah ah   Ah ah      We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth   Through cracks in the pavement   (Aaa)   There weeds will grow   The places you don't go      This cut price dairy produce   That turns our bones to dust   You want some entertainment?   Go on, shove it up then, if you must      Make believe you're so turned on   By planting trees and shrubs   But you come 'round to visit us   When you fancy booze an' drugs      Ah ah ah ah ah   Ah ah      We are weeds, vegetation, dense undergrowth   Through cracks in the pavement   (Aaa)   There weeds will grow   The places you don't go      Go go, go, go   Go go, go, go      If you think it's a crime   (We'd like to get you out of your mind)   It's just a matter of time, yeah   (We'd like to get you out of your mind)   Gonna cut you down in your prime, yeah   (We'd like to get you out of your mind)   For a little time   (For all time)   (Weed, weed, weed, weed)
