lyrics

Bloody hell, it's in the news again today
This climate crisis never seems to stop
I wish they'd change the tune
From all this doom and gloom
All this world destruction really puts me off
So they found another whale in the Thames
What if he just went to see Big Ben?
And it's not really my concern
If there's a penguin getting sun burn
When I'm wearing my new Winter coat inside

But these climate geeks have spread
With all this science in their head
And they like to say that we're not very clever
Well I'm no meteorologist
But the wind outside is pretty brisk
And they always say we're in for hotter weather
Don't give me stats
I'm facing facts
'Cause it's cold outside today

Bloody hell, they're in the streets again today
They're shouting that the Earth's on its last legs
It makes my stomach sink
It's awful when you think
That I'll have to walk around to get to Greggs
So is all this new disruption justified?
I missed the final batch of hot steak pies
If the world is set to cook
And the sea is drowning Norfolk
Well I've heard their feet are webbed so they'd be fine

But these climate geeks appear
They claim it's hotter every year
And they seem to think their scientists are flawless
Now I'm not one to question stuff
But has all this been researched enough?
'Cause it often gets quite nippy here in August
Don't give me stats
I'm bad at maths
And it's cold outside today

But these climate geeks have spread
With all this science in their head
And they like to say that we're not very clever
Well I'm no meteorologist
But the wind outside is pretty brisk
And they always say we're in for hotter weather
Don't give me stats
I'm facing facts
'Cause it's cold outside today

And if there's really climate crisis
Surely I can't be to blame
I'm just one in seven billion
Someone else should have to change
If I haven't seen the proof with my own eyes
Then really what is there to say?
But it's cold outside today

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines ... more
