1.	WE ARE ALL NATURE 03:38	lyrics	buy track
WE ARE ALL NATURE 1 I’ve a problem with a word And I know it seems absurd But the word’s NATURE People seem to think They’re separate, distinct From the word NATURE But we’re ALL NATURE We’re all in this together ALL NATURE – all in this forever There’s no separate world for nature and us We’re all made of water and air and a bit of puss Can’t we redefine the word and over time Combine with nature? I’m tired of the struggle I’m tired of the ‘war’ Cos we’re ALL NATURE Let’s sing out together In this grey polluted air We are ALL NATURE, ALL NATURE, ALL NATURE Let’s be fair. 2 Man assumes control of the Natural World He consumes nature But he’s completely ballsed it up, he’s completely undercut the the reason we’re all here We’re ALL NATURE He hasn’t quite got the notion of this beautiful planet Earth – and that we’re ALL NATURE, ALL NATURE, ALL NATURE x2 If you poison all the weeds then you poison all the bees You poison yourself If you chop down all the trees then you haven’t got the leaves To nurture the earth SOLO We need to be wise Get the dictionaries to revise The word NATURE Send the signal out And get the world to shout We’re starting over again… We’re ALL NATURE And if we want to flourish then we really have to make a change We’re ALL NATURE, ALL NATURE, We’re ALL NATURE ....
2.	DUMP IT IN THE OCEAN 02:55	lyrics	buy track
DUMP IT IN THE OCEAN - by Lorraine Bowen Let’s dump it in the ocean Let’s dump it in the sea It’s gotta go somewhere, somewhere near And they won’t know it’s there if we dump it here Let’s dump it in the ocean Let’s dump it in the sea Nuclear waste a speciality The waves will disperse it by next Friday Let’s dump it in the ocean Let’s dump it in the sea Plastic bags, pretty polythene You’re getting the picture, you’re getting the scene SOLO Let’s dump it in the ocean Let’s dump it in the sea Let’s go fishing, fishing for dinner The sea looks calm and the sea looks clean
3.	BLUE PLANET 03:19	lyrics	buy track
Blue Planet by Lorraine Bowen Looking down from outer space The overview effect is awesome Astronauts are there to face The moon, the Milky Way and more But increasingly aware These astronauts declare ¬That it’s Planet Earth The Blue Planet That needs our love and care … Hanging brightly, oh so tiny Very beaut-i-ful and shiny Awe inspiring, full of wonder A little spot you can cover with your thumb And they all become aware These astronauts declare ¬That it’s Planet Earth The Blue Planet That needs our love and care … The astronauts can spot destruction Deforestation in the Amazon Burning fires across Australia Ultimately human failure And petty politicians Argue over their ambitions If only everyone could see…. Planet Earth needs unity The overview effect is priceless……… There is no other Planet like this……… And out there in the dark and silence They understand the future rests on ….us.
