about

True story - An elephant 'escaped' from Auckland zoo and was found in the neighbouring part chewing the leaves of a tree. Her name was Burma. Long live Burma the Elephant.

lyrics

Elephants are squeezing their way into my consciousness
Elephants are breaking out of institutional enclosures
Like long incarcerated inmates
Just wanting to sit without wall and chains

It's possible that elephants are sick and tired of food prepared inside concrete kitchens
By clinicians with aprons and overalls

Elephants may have said everything there is to say to small children - and to harassed parents
They may be tired of being good
They may be pleasantly irritated - Unpleasantly

Foul smelly thoughts brooding under huge ears

Remembering the tall green trees of the lush forests of India
Worshipped as godlike creatures
Removers of obstacles
Mediums between the common man and the Gods
Elephants swim in rivers and laugh in the jungles
Relics of history ……………………….Timeless Strong
Remnants of an era where the tiger was the main predator
Ripping ribbons from your flanks with teeth and claw
