Desolenator

VERSE

C                                            F                   C

Water water everywhere but most not fit to drink

C                                                              F                      C

When most of the world is covered by water, d'ya ever stop to think?

Am   G    F        C                Am                 G        F

By 2030 half of humanity will struggle for a water source

C                                                   F                       C

Ironic that rising sea levels will only make it worse

G

CHORUS

                         F

Desolenator everyone

                                       C

All you need is sea and sun

                       F

Desolenator purifies

                                       C

A sustainable water supply

G

VERSE

Poor people are walking miles every single day

For a few litres of stagnant water, disease and dysentery

Or living at the mercy of the tanker man, but change their lives we can

By purifying local water the power's in their hands

CHORUS

MIDDLE (Same chords as middle part of Verse)

You want water that's pure and clean, so you buy it in bottles

But it's absorbed the biphenyls and other cruel potentials

G

VERSE

You pay more for bottled water, and so does the earth

10 million joules of fossil fuels go into every litre

Compare this to your tap water that's 2000 times cheaper

Are you one of the enlightened one, who know the price is steeper?

Hook Point

VERSE 
G                             Em                       C                G

In our three-second world, people are scrolling so fast 

G                       Em                       C                D

I had your attention but in a moment it passed 

Most people's ads aren’t clever and their message gets lost 

Connect with your audience to get yours across

CHORUS

                                      C                 

That's why you need a hook point

                               D

A headline like a setpoint

                                   C                        D

That reaches out and pulls your reader in

Gotta have a hook point

Or you'll only disappoint

Yourself and your viewers and your friends

VERSE

We're seeing thousands of messages every hour of every day

But stand out with a twist by changing just a small way

Like the writer who added four words to an old beggar's sign:

G       C               Em     G

"It is spring but - I am blind"

CHORUS

That's why you need a hook point

A headline like a setpoint

That reaches out and pulls your reader in

Gotta have a hook point

Or you'll only disappoint

Yourself and your viewers and your friends

MIDDLE 

Am

With an image or an insight

G

An idea or some text

F

With added personality

Em

To grab their interest

Mock it up and test it

Try to find the best bit

Simplify the concept

Til you find what really works

MIDDLE

CHORUS

Got a hook point

A headline like a setpoint

That reaches out and pulls your reader in

Gotta have a hook point

Or you'll only disappoint

Yourself and your viewers and your friends

One Free Miracle

68 BPM

VERSE

C                                                             Em

Centuries of science, have given us the answers

We know matter's unconscious

We can show evolution's purposeless

C                          D

The only reality's material reality

There's just one part that's hazy, that bit at the beginning

How all mass and energy, came into being

And the laws that govern all of existence

Appeared at once, in a single instant, from nothing...

We just need

CHORUS

 G     F#      Em                                 

One free miracle

      C                    D

The B part of the Bang

Give us this one free miracle

For our theories to hang

Only this one free miracle

We can explain the rest

We need just one free miracle

All else we can test

VERSE

We're all on the same page, from Dawkin to Hawking

Intellectual phase-locking 

Fundamental constants, must never change

We average results out so they stay the same

Ditto to the dark stuff, we add and subtract

"Conservation of energy" must remain intact

Science is settled, without an almighty

So now we restrict, the areas of enquiry

To the details

CHORUS

MIDDLE

Am                     G

Nature is mechanistic

F                                              C

Unexplained phenomenons are illusory

Get it through your head - your mind's in your body

Biological inheritance is only through your genes

Norway and Saudi Arabia

CHORUS
A#                      Gm                 D#                    A#
Norway and Saudi Arabia both won the lottery
With one lucky strike they were lifted up, out of poverty

VERSE
Gm                        D#
One said whoa! Come on let’s go
Gm                                    F
This is our chance we’re going to take it

Built cities out of sand, turn the seas into the land
This is how we’re going to make it

And we’ll live it up fast, while the good times last

No one's going to stop me baby

F

CHORUS

VERSE
The other said no, put it away
Save it up for a rainy day

Keep the day job, put it in savings

Don't give in to carnal cravings

Cos you never know, and history shows

Sometimes it's best not to grow

CHORUS [INSTRUMENTAL]

OUTRO

A#

Bright nights

F

Big city lights

D#

Or the countryside

F

And the quiet life

Fast living

Or selfless giving

Different ends

From the same beginnings

Arab Tyrant Manual

VERSE

F

At midnight now I'm making this speech

About this crazy situation and decisions I've reached

Bf                                                   F

Cos I'm the man... to take things in hand

It's terrorists and feudalists causing all this

It's a trial for survival 'gainst separatists

And their sympathisers... they want to divide us

Have you seen the demonstrations in support of me?

These people see through the conspiracies

Run by foreign agencies... who started the prison fires

CHORUS

C                          Bf

Cos I remain defiant

                              F

They call me a tyrant

VERSE

You know the media's deceiving ya distorting truth

Left-wing anarchists excite youth

So I'm closing 'em down... and the social networks

Listen to the Minister of Information

He's got a grasp of the situation

And about the Minister of Defence? ... well he over-reacted

From days to nights, to wrongs to rights

Increase for peace plain-clothed police

And prisoners.... we had to release

CHORUS

MIDDLE

C

It's just a handful of people, plotting against me

Bf

The majority agree I bring stability

I beseech the protesters, put away your knives 

Think of ordinary people, you're disrupting their lives

See hardship and out of control conditions

Like the fire in prison that killed opposition

And have you forgotten so quickly 'bout the last revolution?

How I came through with a coup and cleansing executions

I'm sorry if I'm get emotional but it's just so hard

Cos I served so long, standing guard... alone

VERSE

I'd no idea how bad things were I'm sorry... OK?

I'm making reforms that will blow you away

I have the perfect solution... it's going back to constitution

Elections are coming so hold your desire

I am not running, I'm about to retire

And I.... only served out of love

Sit down, relax, watch pretty parade

Of military might and many weapons I've saved

They are ready... are you ready?

CHORUS

OUTRO

So go on home peacefully, back to bed

Take thoughts of revolution out of your head

Oh and one thing... before I forget

Switch off the internet

C                                                      F
Some thoughts depress you - like what you had and lost

C                                                      F
Like we ever really possess anything - and even know who we are

BRIDGE
Am                                                                 C
Think of your ancestors do you even know their names?

They've been blown away and are floating with the stars

CHORUS

We are all specks of dust, here upon the Mother Earth

We owe her all of our love. Blessed is the Mother Earth

VERSE

Think of everyone through history - everyone whoever was
And of the lives they lived and what they did - how little we know of

BRIDGE

They lived their every moment in this tiny place
And in the universe they left no trace

CHORUS

MIDDLE

Am

Rivers of blood spilt in triumph

C

To claim one piece or own one corner

F

Endless cruelties visited out

G

To move about imagined borders

CHORUS
How many have died? Fighting for the Mother Earth

BRIDGE

Every creator, every destroyer of civilisations

Every hero, every coward, every king

CHORUS

They owe all of their lives, to the sacred Mother Earth

BRIDGE

Every saint, every sinner, every son

Every inventor, every explorer, everyone

CHORUS

In the history of our species, crawled around the Mother Earth

Yes they lived out their lives, here upon the Mother Earth

LYRICS:

VERSE

F

Wall to wall meetings today

C

Hardly breaks, no time to play

Bf

Double the work, without the breaks

C

All over my body aches

Just cos I'm home doesn't mean I'm free

I'm working flat out virtually

That's not the way the family sees it

Calling me, in my room... with

CHORUS

Zoom gloom

Weighs me down

Talk is long, talk is cheap

With people I never meet

Zoom gloom

Nowhere to hide

Camera's on, I feel open wide

And everyone can see inside

VERSE

Mind is drifting can't concentrate

Fighting hard just to stay awake

Who wants a meeting after lunch?

One bad apple in the Brady Bunch

Too many faces to cognitize

I need more info than just the eyes

After every call I'm feel drained

Communicatively immune

CHORUS

MIDDLE

Barely time to wake-up

Put on a little up makeup

Before the camera's on

And show's begun

Wake up the co-host

The one that I love most

Do a little gurgle

I have come full circle

CHORUS

Most caterpillars don't believe in butterlfies

B                                      E

Most caterpillars don't believe in butterflies

You make a chrysalis, then you die

                    F#           E

Despite the butterfly sightings

VERSE

Butterflies in the sky    

Tricks of the light or cloud formations

Flocks of birds or you expectations

Who knows? Who can say?

Don't look they'll go away

Caterpillars are apathetic

They're focused on their leaf

"Don't borrow me with spiritual things

         F#                               F#

I'm living in the hear and now"

CHORUS

VERSE

The Nine Freedoms explains it all

How Bravery, Love and Service 

Lead to enlightenment and cosmic consciousness 

Then ascension and interplanetary existence

Before we get to Saturn and then life on the sun

Many more things are mentioned

It's a lot to take in

And when talking to caterpillars

         F#                              F#

It's hard to know where to begin...

MIDDLE

E                     F#                         B          E

The caterpillar government's not helping things

E                             F#

I guess they have their reasons

E                         F#                 B          E

But I know one day that everyone will see

B          E

Inevitably

F#                                                  B

That becoming butterflies is our destiny

But until then...
