lirik lagu beans on toast - can't take another earthquake
[verse 1]
it’s the beginning of british summer time
the clocks go forward and the nights get light
the full moon, one week ago
had quite an effect on things at home
we all know full moons make things weird
it hasn’t been this close for years
[chorus]
and the moon went full
on a world gone crazy
safe to say
we can’t take another earthquake
a great big wave
and a nuclear disaster
there’s nothing we can do
but throw a tomahawk at libya
you might not think these things are linked
it’s definitely worth a think
[verse 2]
and we’re told to think that the world’s a mess
and no one really knows what to suggest
we read about the tragedy every day in the paper
while we travel to work to keep paying our taxes
help fund the country, help fund the war
where everybody’s scared of losing their jobs
[chorus]
and the moon went full
on a world gone crazy
safe to say
we can’t take another earthquake
a great big wave
and a nuclear disaster
there’s nothing we can do
but throw a tomahawk at libya
you might not think these things are linked
it’s definitely worth a think
[verse 3: kate tempest]
me and the moon, we are one and the same
it’s winking at me when i wander through rain
the oceans move in, and pull to high tides
we act f-cking mental but can’t work out why
so much of us water, we ought to take count
for the forces that pull us to pieces, shout
for the species alone and the grip of the present
screaming our secrets to the arc of the crescent
me and you sat there watching it, smiling
moon sinks away beneath the horizon
we nod at each other, this must be the reason
the world went nuts when we should have been sleeping
and the moon went full
(and the moon went full)
but instead we were creeping the town
with our feet in a clouds
no need for speaking out loud
we watch as it sinks
the things that we think
could be explained by the drinks
but more to the point we are creatures of nature
ripped half to shreds by the deviant nature
hounding ourselves into blossoms and bloom
never forget the effect of the moon
(never forget the effect of the moon)
no never forget the effect of the moon
[chorus]
and the moon went full
(and the moon went full)
on a world gone crazy
safe to say
(safe to say)
we can’t take another earthquake
a great big wave
(a great big wave)
and a nuclear disaster
there’s nothing we can do
(no there’s nothing we can do)
but throw a tomahawk at libya
you might not think these things are linked
it’s definitely worth a think
[verse 4]
and that’s okay
because we’re british
and don’t you know
we’ve got the olympics
it cost us a fortune
we’ve been building for years
a running track only a few people will use
you think that that’s a waste of spending?
wait till you hear about the royal wedding
and the wedding bells ring
(and the wedding bells ring)
across broken britain
you wanna be a king?
(you wanna be a king?)
you best bring us a kingdom
not a celebrity
(celebrity)
and a newspaper scandal
there’s nothing we can do
(no there’s nothing we can do)
it’s just diverting our attention
cause there’s bigger things at stake
than a slice of wedding cake
