Can't Take Another Earthquake (feat. Kae Tempest)

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. 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. 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. Me and the moon, we are one and the same It's winking at me when I wander through rain. The oceans move in, pull the house down We act fucking 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 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 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 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, It's just diverting our attention. Cause there's bigger things at stake, Than a slice of wedding cake.
