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
