Don't Feed the Gulls Lyrics


Early in the morning, you're awakened by a squawk

You're sick and tired of listening to this avian pillow talk

Is a night of peace and quiet, too much of a wish?

Why aren't they out at sea, eating bucket loads of fish?

Instead they're on your chimney, setting up a family nest

To some a thing of beauty, but to you a natural pest

You do not want to harm them, but you wish they'd fly away

But you put out the welcome mat and now they're here to stay

I told you not to do it but you said you'd do your bit

To help Mother Nature, as the planet turns to shit

You made a nice bird table and the feeders were all full

But I cannot stress this strong enough, Don't feed the Fucking Gulls!!

I know you think you're doing good, by throwing out some scraps

But for all your good intentions, you have set a booby trap

This ain't some gentle Blackbird that will sing you all to sleep

It's a feathered Jumbo Jet, and it's arriving from the deep

You put up spiked defenses, you shout and flap your arms

Your neighbors think you've lost it, but I'm sure it's got it's charms

Hours on your computer, trying hard to find a way

To get your life on track again and keep those birds away

A solution to a problem is avoid it from the start

Nature finds a way, and from this you can take heart

To avoid you roof resembling a ships rusty hull

Remember what I told you and Don't feed the Fucking Gulls!!

You see them through the window as you're sitting down to eat

They look you up and down but your plans are incomplete

You'll send off all your letters, saying these have got to go

To hell with consequences, cos now you're in full flow

And this is where we differ, by the different ways we see

Cos this problem started with our inability

To live as one with nature and leave their homes alone

This problems all ours, it's all home grown

There is no doubt about it, that it causes people stress

I don't like pointing fingers, it's a self inflicted mess

We created all these issues, and the answers not a cull

The way to stop this problem is Don't feed the Fucking Gulls!!
