From: Pete from seven stars link Whilst looking through my old 45’s I came across one from 69 by the above lady, called ,Go out and multiply , apparently her own composition . It was a protest song against the RC church (her own ,I recall ) about contraception . She had a nice vocaI , and the style both sides was folk/country , and wondered if it was a one off, or she was / is an established artist |

15 Jun 21 - 06:05 PM (#4110299) Subject: RE: Origins: Suzanne Harris. From: GUEST,John Davison The lyrics of "We're Using Up the World" were reprinted in FoE's Environmental Handbook (pp167-168 Edited by John Barr, ISBN 0 345 02137 1). They run thus: I've seen the mighty redwoods Standing a hundred feet high, The along came the loggingmen And chopped them all down And left a big hole in the sky. Factories by the thousand Are turning the rivers black, And the working man says: 'It's hard to make a living But easy to turn your back.' Smoke and dust and oil and soot Fill every breath we breathe, So now it costs us our very life To have what once was free. CHORUS: We're using up the world, Can't you see? Saying that it's all For you and me, We're using up the world, One more time, And taking away What's yours and mine. We can always blame the government Or men in foreign lands, But we're the ones Who've covered the green With rusty old cars and tin cans. If you drive across my country You'll get your just reward, For the signs and rhymes Unite to tell you America's going by the board. Repeat CHORUS There are influential ladies Who choose to wear their wealth, So the leopard and the tiger Are fast disappearing As the ladies admire themselves. Some folks go on safari Just to watch the animals fall. They don't need the meat, They've got plenty to eat, They just want another trophy for the wall. Repeat CHORUS We can always sing this song again, Or tell a story told before, But we cannot make earthly things Live and breathe once more. |
