I laid on a poppy
It laid on me
A lot of thinking
And did it all for free
I thought of you…..
I thought of you
I wanted to swim in the river
But I saw what they had done
All the fish are dying in there
and we ain’t got no sun
I thought of you…..
I thought of you
I wandered in a meadow
All that rubbish there
Look at them with the plastic picnic
Talking ‘bout the length of my hair
I laid on a poppy
It laid on me
A lot of thinking
And did it all for free
I thought of you…..
I thought of you
I wanted to swim in the river
But I saw what they had done
All the fish are dying in there
And we ain’t got no sun
I thought of you…..
I thought of you
I’m gonna take a walk in the country
Take a look at that big blue sky
Take a breath of that clean spring air
Before they say die
I thought of you…..
I thought of you
Here there is also a disapointing notice towards the disapearing Nature, polluted rivers, forests with plastic rubbish by visitors who prefer not to critisize their waste-producing way of life, but the long hairs of the true nature's childred, the hippies.
You can hear some songs from this band in you tube and in my space

from wikipedia:
The Broughtons' political views were anarchist and anti-establishment. Edgar Broughton said their aim was "subverting what's above". Songs such as "Out, Demons Out!" and their many appearances at free concerts made the Edgar Broughton Band popular on the radical fringe. They are sometimes thought of as "punk before it was punk" - Edgar Broughton declared their stance to be "we're The Broughtons, we're going to play, what are you going to do about it?". They played outside the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 as a protest against ticket prices.
