about

It's a song about my plastic legacy.

lyrics

In the year 3013 on an episode of something like Time Team
They’ll be digging a hole to find a story untold (and I’ll be in trouble)
They’ll find a bag made of polythene, on the side, it’s addressed to ‘Grant Sharkey’ inside they find chunks of polystyrene, a sight they find so obscene they puke everywhere.

And they’ll surmise that I am an asshole brimming with spite,
For the future of humanity – but that’s just not me!
So in my defence:

I bought a brand new washing machine, to help the economy and to get my rancid clothes clean – I unwrapped it with glee and plumbed it in with a ‘squee!’ and started my washing
Around my feet, polystyrene and bubble wrap, I bagged it up and threw it out with the other crap, I didn’t know what to do. I hadn’t thought it through, so I panicked.

In the future, they’ll paint a picture of me killing the planet deliberately. Robot Tony Robinson will call me a DICK and the other robots will agree and call me a DICK.

DICK
