DAYS ON THE ROAD
Ebm / C# / Ab /
B / Bbm / Ab /
LYING IN MY BED
GUITAR BY MY SIDE
WISHING THAT YOU `D COME ON HOME
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
AND I KNOW WHERE WE WENT WRONG
THE LONG LONELY NIGHTS
WE STAND ON THE STAGE
AND YOU SPENT THEM AT HOME
Bbm / C# / D#m /
Abm / Bbm / B /
CHORUS
I LOST ALL THE LOVE I HAD FOR YOU
I LOST IT OUT IN THE SUN
THERE`S A COLD WIND BLOWING
FOR THE LOAD WE TOWING FOR THOSE DAYS
DAYS ON THE ROAD
LYING IN MY BED
WITH YOU BY MY SIDE
WISHING THAT YOU `D ALWAYS BE THERE
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE SAID
AND I KNOW WHERE WE WENT WRONG
THE LONG LONELY NIGHTS
WE DANCED ON THE STAGE
AND YOU SPENT THEM AT HOME

My Vanishing Home

My Vanishing Home
My home is vanishing
It’s moving way too fast
I struggle to swim big distances
Across the sea.
I use to pound the ice
Just like my mother showed me
I don`t have to do it anymore
Because the ice is too thin
My cold and lonely icy world
Won’t be there any more
How am I going to survive .
When it all melts away x 2
I use to hide behind
the camouflage snow humps
When I hunted down my food
for my survival
My cousins they dying out
They are now half as many
Why is it happening so fast
Is there anything that I can do
Chorus

Komhlaba
Ukushisa kakhulu komhlaba
we have to stop it somehow
Iqhwa is melting and Amalahle are burning
On a dark distant time in a land so close
We are sleep walking to a point of no return
Ukushisa kakhulu komhlaba
we have to stop it somehow
Iqhwa is melting and Amalahle are burning
Sea levels are rising , coal power is burning
izinto zokubasa ezimbiwa
phansi transport
And the days they getting so much warmer
Climate Emergency we have to stop it somehow
Ice is melting and coal are burning
We must not be so reliant on fossil fuels
And give renewable energy an exclusive attempt
Climate Emergency we have to stop it somehow
Ice is melting and coal are burning
Do we really care ,
About what we leave our children
Wind farms and solar power is at work
But there is just not enough of it

DON`T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED
UNGAZITHATHI KALULA
I`M A HUMPBACK WHALE SWIMING IN THE SEA
I THINK THE TRAWLER NETS ARE GONNA CATCH ME
IN THE SEA I NOTICE THAT THE WATERS NOT AS CLEAN AS BE
I`M A HUMPBACK WHALE SWIMING IN THE SEA
I FEEL THE WATERS GETTING TO WARM FOR ME
IN THE SEA I WORRY THAT THE WHALING MEN
ARE COMIN AFTER ME
CHORUS
OUT OF NOWHERE AND THE WATER TOO VAST TO SEE
SOMETHING MERGING THE WATER FROM THE GREAT BIG SEA
WHALES FLOATING DOWN THE OCEAN SLOWLY STARING BACK AT ME
CLEAR AS DAY EVERYDAY I WATCH THEM PLAY
AND WATCH THEM SWAY
IN THE GORGOUS OPEN SEA YOU CAN SEE THEM IN PACKS OF TWO , MY BREED WAS DYING NOW THEY STRONG
THANKS TO YOU
WHALES ARE BIG , WHALES ARE STOUT , WHALES THEY HUM ,THEY DON`T SHOUT .
MIST SHOOTING OUT OF THEIR SPOUT AND DIVING INTO THE DEEP WATER.
CHORUS
SPOUT OF NOWHERE I WATCH THEM PLAY , WHALES IN THE WATER SINGING THEIR WHALING SONG
WHALES RISING UP AND GOING DOWN , DEEP DEEP DEEP IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA
IF YOU LOOK OUT THERE YOULL SEE THEM IN PACKS OF THREE LOOKING LIKE A WATERFALL UPSIDE DOWN

Plastic country In The sea (GPGP)
Plastic was fantastic
Not so much no more
It’s filling up our oceans
It’s pushing at our door
We say I’m only one
It’s truly not my fault
But it was only lots of ones
That started this assault.
GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
IT GOES BIGGER EVERYDAY
GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
A PLASTIC COUNTRY IN THE SEA
Plastic goes into our Ocean
Ends up in the ocean
Fish eat this plastic
Then so do we. . . .
Plastic’s in our food chain
The solution must be
Stop single use plastic
And live to be free.
CHORUS
The laysan Albatross skim
Surface to feed . . .
Mistake floating plastic
For the food that they need
They fly great distances and
They Feed chicks our chuck. . .
Outa sight, outa mind
Our poisonous muck.
Chorus
There are many more of theses islands
And they have this garbage too
You think that what you don`t see
Won`t harm you too.

In Time For A Crime
We went overseas
to get away too far
everything was going well
and you could easily tell
We went to the blue city
To check out the quality
Went for a mountain hike
They said its safe and nice CHORUS
Morocco was a lovely place
Never expected this to happen
We went off seeking adventure
Turned out not so well
We were miles from anywhere
With no one else around.
We didn’t know what to do
We just had to play it safe
So we saw him coming past us.
Looking odd and off centred
He was nimble and quick
Running down that mountain so quick.
.
All of a sudden, he was behind us
Telling us to take some pictures
He was after some money
And what I gave was not enough CHORUS
He had his knife out and asked for more
We knew then we `re in trouble
We had no weapons so we shouted
He left alone for a while.
Then say 20min went by
Then he came back and wanted more.
There still was no one around.
We didn’t know what to do.
Again, we shouted loud and louder

HYDROGEN CITIES
HYDROGEN CITY
WATER FROM THE SEA
HYDROGEN CARS
WATER INTO ENERGY`
STANDING NOW ON A BIG FORK IN THE ROAD
WE CAN GO ONE WAY OR WE CAN GO ANOTHER
A VERY LONG TIME AGO WE MADE SOME CHOICES
AND NOT A GOOD ONE
CHORUS
THE CLEANIST ENERGY OF ALL IS HYDRGEN FROM SOLAR .
TECNOLOGIES NOW EXIST
TO TURN SEAWATER INTO HYDROGEN.
THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE ONLY THINKING SHORT TERM.
THEY ARE DOING IT NOW
CHORUS
NO NEED FOR COAL NO MORE URANIUM
NO NEED FOR OUR PLANET TO HEAT UP ANYMORE
NO NEED FOR BAD AIR QUALITY, NO NEED FOR HIGH PRICES FOR ENERGY
LET`S KEEP THIS ROLLING, MORE PRESSURE ON OUR GOVERNMENTS TO CHANGE
2050 IS TOO LATE , WE GOT THIS ONE PLANET LET`S
KEEP IT CLEAN AND KEEP IT FLOUSHING
