about

The Last Straw -

Meg says: Just sip!

Fin says: You could buy your own reusable straw and carry it with you. I saw a stainless steel one for a fiver, Tiffany and Co. have a whole collection starting at $500 but, like Meg says, you’d be better just sipping.

lyrics

The Last Straw

Once you seemed like everything we needed
You burn and melt and make us feel light headed
Synthetic we can hold you
We can shape and mould
Nature fails where mankind has succeeded

Now we’re bound together we’re elastic
Your stubborn, stretchy fibres are fantastic
So much love and hate
For polycarbonate
Came with baggage, you are trashy, you’re erratic

Landfill aches, it’s choking every ocean
You stuck around much longer than we bargained for
Suck it up and wave goodbye to poison
Raise your glass and toast the last straw
Raise your glass and toast the last straw

Not quite ivory or tortoise-shell
300 million tons a year to shelve
Use it once and throw it out
Addicted litter lout
Pushing bakelite boulders up a hill in hell

Landfill aches, it’s choking every ocean
You stuck around much longer than we bargained for
Suck it up and wave goodbye to poison
Raise your glass and toast the last straw
Raise your glass and toast the last straw

Your nylon islands multiply relentless
Flushed out to sea or buried underneath us
Digging our own grave
Out of stuff we chucked away
Future toxic towers to rival Everest

Landfill aches, it’s choking every ocean
You stuck around much longer than we bargained for
Suck it up and wave goodbye to poison
Raise your glass and toast the last straw
Raise your glass and toast the last straw

about

Megan Henwood & Findlay Napier UK

Oxford's Megan Henwood and Glasgow's Findlay Napier met on a songwriting retreat at Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh in 2016.

“Fancy writing a song about maths?” Napier enquired. And so the seed for the Story Song Scientists was sewn.

They have toured this EP across the UK and their 2nd EP will be released alongside their November 2021 tour.
