about

If you just want a temporary fix, take a pill.
When you want to heal, consult the plant kingdom

lyrics

PLANTAIN, PLANTAIN

plantain, planatain,
I need you again-
I busted up my knuckle workin on my truck
plantain, plantain,
I burned myself again-
I grabbed the hot handle and I said...

what's goin on? did you forget about nature?
what's it gonna take
for her medicine to move these
piles of pills look so pretty,
but I'm gonna hold the helpin hand
that grows at my feet.

plaintain, plantain,
yo, no, not the bannana strain-
I`m talkin real canadian
ditch medicine brothers and sisters!
plantain, plantain,
please allow me to explain-
it heals cuts and scrapes,
abrasions, lacerations and blisters

if you ever pulled a carrot from the ground
and gobbled it down, you know
that it`s better fresh picked
than fresh pulled off a shelf.
but what does fresh mean?
it's the quality of connection between
one little peice of nature
and nature itself.

that connection can be strong,
or it can be long gone -
like when your doctor's got ya
smellin plastic flowers.

there's some powerful shit man
growin right in the ditch man!
a fresh medicine buffet -
I'm wounded where's the plantain?

little pharmer Powell River, British Columbia

You will leave with a song in your heart and dirt under your nails... a musical collision between industrial agriculture and joyous inspiration. This is farm rock, punk rock, and true folk music.
