1. We're sorry that you've got such bloody awful weather
We're sorry if you'living somewhere on sea,
We're sorry we didn't quite get it together in time
and we still hope that you enjoy your legacy, Somewhere on sea
2. We wouldn't want you to believe we din't love you
We wouldn't want you to suppose we didn't care
Eighty per cent of our days, thinking about you always
just twenty per cent putting carbon in the air

3. Sorry that we buried our poison in the garden
Best not to digfor a millenium or three
But if if you do start a mine think of the plastic you'll find
And we still hope that you enjoy your legacy, Somewhere on sea.

4. We only see what we can see, anything else is theory
Don't you come here bothering me
with a new doom'n'gloom prophecy
There's room for doubt and while the jury is out,
Why should our kids do without necessity.

5. Wish you were here smelling the Mayflowere in the hedgerow
You'd have adored hearing the lark on the wing.
But maybe a swamp can look nice
and you can grow your own rice
Before the ice covers it over again, What happens then?

Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power
Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power
Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power

As you can hear, starting from here we're going nowhere
'til we resolve how powerful we can be
We're sorry it took so long for us to sing the same song
And we still hope that you enjoy legacy

Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power<br>
Wind power, wave power, sun power, Take power<br>
Somewhere on sea
