It's the beginning of British summer time,The clocks go forward and the nights get light,The full moon, one week agoHad quite an effect on things at homeWe all know full moons make things weirdIt hasn't been this close for years.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 Lybia.You might not think these things are linked,It's definitely worth a think.And we're told to think that the world's a mess,No one really knows what to suggest.We read about the tragedy every day in the paper,While we travel the words and keep paying our taxes.Help fund the country, help fund the war,Where everybody's scared of losing their jobs.And the moon went full,On a world gone crazy.SongtexteSafe 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 Lybia.You might not think these things are linked,It's definitely worth a think.Me and the moon, we are one and the sameIt's winking at me when I wander through rain.The oceans move in, pull the house downWe act fucking mental but can't work out whySo much of us water, we ought to take countFor the forces that pull us to pieces, shoutFor the species alone and the grip of the presentScreaming our secrets to the arc of the crescentMe and you sat there watching it, smilingMoon sinks away beneath the horizonWe nod at each other, this must be the reasonThe 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 townWith our feet in a clouds, no need for speaking out loudWe watch as it sinks,The things that we think, could be explained by the drinksBut more to the point we are creatures of natureRipped half to shreds by the deviant natureHounding ourselves into blossoms and bloomNever forget the effect of the moon(Never forget the effect of the moon)No never forget the effect of the moonAnd 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 Lybia.You might not think these things are linked,It's definitely worth a think.And that's ok, because we're British,Don't you know, we've got the Olympics.It cost us a fortune, we've been building for yearsA running track only a few people will use.You think that that's a waste of spending?Wait till you hear about the royal weddingAnd the wedding bells ring(And the wedding bells ring)Across broken BritainYou wanna be a king?(You wanna be a king?)You best bring us a kingdomNot a celebrity (celebrity)And a newspaper scandal.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.
