I’ve been very clear that I take this issue seriously. I’ve said it in a dozen soundbites, just check out my Twitter feed. Still it seems that you’re not convinced by my reassurances. What else do you want of me? I’ve been very clear, isn’t that enough? I’ve said what you want to hear, isn’t that enough? I’ve been very clear that I take this issue seriously. I’ve set world-beating distant targets, hoped they’d stop you bugging me. Now you’re asking what have I done to avert the crisis to come. My forte is words, not deeds. It’s like you want me to take action, not just spout facile words. Make decisions, tackle causes, no more empty promises. Stand up to the worst offenders, spurn their generous donations. Don’t you know that’s just not how we modern politicians work? I’ve been very clear, isn’t that enough? I’ve said what you want to hear, isn’t that enough? I’ve been very clear, isn’t that enough? I’ve said what you want to hear, isn’t that enough?

Everybody knows all the trouble I’ve seen. Everybody knows all the trouble I’ve been. Times when trouble was my only friend, But even trouble left me in the end. Everybody comes here looking for trouble, But trouble don’t live here no more.

When the flood comes, do you think denial will save you? Will you then ignore the water at your feet? When the storm breaks, your lies won’t give you shelter. You’ll have to pay the price of your deceit. Someday judgement’s gonna come, and I know then you will find A tower built on lies won’t keep you dry. Someday justice will be done. On that day you will be tried And found guilty of your crimes against mankind. As the tides rise, and you watch the icecaps tumble, Can you still say there is insufficient proof? When the drought comes, when we’re thirsty and we’re starving Will you still deny this inconvenient truth? Someday judgement’s gonna come, and I know then you will find A tower built on lies won’t keep you dry. Someday justice will be done. On that day you will be tried And found guilty of your crimes against mankind. So repent while you still can, Change your ways, forsake your greed. Turn away from your misdeeds. Seek forgiveness for your wrongs ‘gainst God and man.

Well in love I’d never swum out of my depth ‘til you came on the scene, So I guess that when it comes to feeling blue, I’m kind of green. When our eyes met, I placed my bet before you showed your hand. I dropped my guard, you turned your card, my diamonds turned to sand. Now I’ve lost my heart and I’ve lost you, That’s why I’m feeling kind of blue. Well it used to be that striking sparks was all just a part of the game, And if I smelled smoke, I’d run before my heart could burst into flame. I drew a line with warning signs, made sure I never crossed it. I never dared to stake my heart, and so I never lost it. Now I’ve lost my heart and I’ve lost you, That’s why I’m feeling kind of blue. I liked to dream that I was in love and pretend that the daydream was real, But if my heart tried skipping a beat, I taught my heart to turn on its heel. I swore the man was never born who could hold my heart in his hand. I vowed that day would never dawn, now I find myself in no-man’s land. That’s why I’m feeling kind of blue. Well I used to think in love that it was better to be free than be true, But when we first touched I knew I’d gladly trade my freedom for you. And as I fell under your spell, I knew I’d never stray. I tried my dear to keep you near, but now you’re miles away. So what’s a girl supposed to do, When she’s feeling kind of blue?

I am a flower, I am a tree, I am the sun. I am a flower, I am a tree, I am the sun. I am a flower, I am a tree, I am the sun. These have made my life, and now it’s done. Remember me in these three things, Look up and smell the world and glory in what life brings. I am a flower, I am a tree, I am the sun. I am a flower, I am a tree, I am the sun. Take in the beauty, enjoy the sounds. Please change the world for me, you have no bounds. I am a flower, I am the sun, I am a tree. Watch them forever and think of me.
