Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Tale of the Giant Stone Eater lyrics
THE TALE OF THE GIANT STONE EATER COMMENTATOR: Hear this the tale of the giant stone eater GIRL: Gather round boys and girls and listen MAN: To the tale of the giant stone eater and how the earth was ravaged during the years of the great stone shortage... COMMENTATOR: Raised the price of diesel oil and yellow painted signs zigzagged black lines of warning...... GIRL & MAN: Another tree dies of shame..... MAN: 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 reves 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. GIRL: 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! GIRL & MAN: Journeys unstarted measure space for future parking lots Journeys unstarted measure space Journeys unstarted measure space for the future COMMENTATOR: And - underneath a million tons of cold lava a brontasaurus lies wrong way up. GIRL: Right way straight ahead MAN: Hamburgers at the barn dance tonight! COMMENTATOR: Average speed 100 mph sixteen lane highways cross the meadows GIRL: Plastic space agents selling candy-floss contracts ALL TOGETHER: Bells ringing "ring ring" split, grind and grovel Lost iron relics ringing on the cold stone GIRL: A spated river flows up hill directions change in the New Age rain on Tuesdays... COMMENTATOR: 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 an*lyse the unknown.... Meanwhile another tree dies of shame ALL TOGETHER: And another tree dies of shame.....
