2.	The Hash My Father Scored 03:27	lyrics
It was gold and it was beautiful and it cost ten pence a gram He scored it on the ferry coming back from Amsterdam He said it's just like Lebanese from the bygone days of yore And when I can I like to smoke the hash my father scored Oh that green grass and resin so fine Thatt gives you a feeling divine It would raise both the dying and the living That green grass and resin so fine. When my father died he left to me his house and all his tin I opened the good book and found a kilo stashed within And now when I'm unhappy and sometimes when I'm bored I light a spliff in memory of the hash my father scored Now all those days have passed and gone and all that good stuff has flown You can't get stuff like it anymore, why I've even tried home-grown But I can still remember how upward I once soared Outflying British Airways on the hash my father scored And now to keep you up to date: hash is now class C It's no more harmful now, they say, than a good strong cup of tea So I’ll roll a joint and celebrate and sometime by and by They’ll come to see that hash is Nature's way of saying 'Hi'!

about

There are a lot of drinking songs out there, particularly in the world of folk music. Rather fewer in number are those that celebrate ‘the herb superb’ but some of them are real beauties... and some are just bloody silly. But that seems appropriate.

Around the dawn of the 21st century, Simon Campbell (also known as ‘Rhymin Simon... he looks like Gandalf, but his jokes are funnier) and his mate Miggy Meerkat - two colourful inmates of the Albert Ross Home for the Musically Insane in Sydney, Australia - decided that sharing some of these numbers with the world might be a fun project. A couple of decades later, (things can move a bit slowly sometimes, can’t they?) they began gathering their friends to help get these songs and poems recorded.

Folkies like to sing about the way things used to be... remember when weed used to be illegal? ...Wait, what? It still is? That’s criminal! .... and in a way, singing about bonging or choofing could be viewed in the same light as singing about plough horses, or sailing ships.., and hey, we’re hoping that songs about coal mining or oil drilling might soon become relics of the past as well...but the point we’re getting at is that nowadays there are lots of healthier ways to get a herbal high without lighting up...tinctures, oils and edibles are all very much kinder to your body. Take it from us, emphysema is a real drag.... from a long line of drags.
