Autumn skies at Victoria Park, Birkenhead, January 2022

Birkenhead Blues have just released a new single Leave it in the ground, clown. This is a Green Plenty side project and we hope you like it.

Lyrics

Chorus

Emergency, emergency, emergency
Leave it in the ground, clown
Leave it in the ground, clown
Leave it in the ground, clown
Leave it in the ground, clown

Verse

You say we shouldn’t make a fuss
The world belongs to all of us
Your friends make another buck
You think you have the luck
The lightning catches fire
Ice melts to drown the pyre
If we go you’re coming too
This world belongs to all of us
In trust

This song has an important message in the light of the orange buffoon's drill, baby, drill pronouncements, and our own British coal mining plague, please share.

Thanks.
