I looked across the North Sea |
|
And the sea looked so dead |
|
(I wondered what this place would look like |
|
In the next twenty years) |
|
But where I'm living |
|
All the shop shelves are full |
|
Goods to help me shut out |
|
Scenes of this dying world |
|
And every time I tried to hide |
|
The churning of my guts inside |
|
Everybody failed to heed the warning |
|
Mother, mother I just stand by |
|
They push the needle deep inside |
|
Pump poison in your veins |
|
Intravenous |
|
Holidays were different |
|
All the things I learnt |
|
All the boys were sunning |
|
While the skin cancer burnt |
|
Just for one split second |
|
I saw the great work of man |
|
As he turned the forests |
|
Into deserts of sand |
