Lyrics:
[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 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 [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
