C [Verse 1] C C It's the beginning of British Summer Time C C The clocks go forward and the nights get light F The full moon, one week ago C Had quite an effect on things at home G We all know full moons make things weird C It hasn't been this close for years [Chorus] F And the moon went full C On a world gone crazy G Safe to say C We can't take another earthquake F A great big wave C And a nuclear disaster G There's nothing we can do C But throw a tomahawk at Libya F G C You might not think these things are linked F G C It's definitely worth a think [Verse 2] C C And we're told to think that the world's a mess And no one really knows what to suggest F We read about the tragedy every day in the paper C While we travel to work to keep paying our taxes G G Help fund the country, help fund the war C Where everybody's scared of losing their jobs [Chorus] F And the moon went full C On a world gone crazy G Safe to say C We can't take another earthquake F A great big wave C And a nuclear disaster G There's nothing we can do C But throw a tomahawk at Libya F G C You might not think these things are linked F G C It's definitely worth a think I could manually put in the chord changes at each part of the Kae Tempest rap, but I've had a decent amount of rum and frankly the progression doesn't really change so you can probably figure it out (if you even wanna do it) [Verse 3: Kae Tempest] C 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 F So much of us water, we ought to take count For the forces that pull us to pieces, shout C For the species alone and the grip of the present Screaming our secrets to the arc of the crescent G Me and you sat there watching it, smiling Moon sinks away beneath the horizon We nod at each other, this must be the reason C The world went nuts when we should have been sleeping And the moon went full (And the moon went full) C 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 F But more to the point we are creatures of nature Ripped half to shreds by the deviant nature C Hounding ourselves into blossoms and bloom G Never forget the effect of the moon (Never forget the effect of the moon) C No never forget the effect of the moon [Chorus] F And the moon went full C On a world gone crazy G Safe to say C We can't take another earthquake F A great big wave C And a nuclear disaster G There's nothing we can do C But throw a tomahawk at Libya F G C You might not think these things are linked F G C It's definitely worth a think [Verse 4] C C And that's okay C Because we're British C And don't you know C We've got the Olympics F It cost us a fortune F We've been building for years C A running track only a few people will use G You think that that's a waste of spending? C Wait till you hear about the royal wedding F And the wedding bells ring (And the wedding bells ring) C Across broken Britain G You wanna be a king? (You wanna be a king?) C You best bring us a kingdom F Not a celebrity (Celebrity) C And a newspaper scandal G There's nothing we can do (No there's nothing we can do) C It's just diverting our attention F G C Cause there's bigger things at stake F G C Than a slice of wedding cake
