Sparks ’Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth’ 1974 Belgium

The Mael brothers homage to ecology in the 1970’s; pity more didn’t listen then. An anthemic song that deserves wider exposure - and a gospel cover! Filmed for the Belgian TV programme ’Folllies’ on 6/10/1974. They also performed: ’Amateur Hour’, here: and ’Thanks But No Thanks’ here: - and more, possibly they’ll appear later. New album ’Drip Drip Drip’ out in 2020. Lyrics When she’s on her best behavior Don’t be tempted by her favor Never turn your back on mother Earth Towns are hurled from A to B By hands that look so smooth to me Never turn your back on mother Earth Grasp at straws that don’t want grasping Gaze at clouds that come down crashing Never turn your back on mother Earth Three days and two nights away from my friends Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends Never turn your back on mother Earth I’ll admit I was unfaithful But from now I’ll be more faithful Never turn your back on mother Never turn your back on mother Never turn your back on mother Earth #Sparks
