Somewhere on Sea –
Simplified version arr. Sarah Westcott
as sung at Green Fair 2013
Unison – no bass riff
1. We're sorry that you've got such bloody awful weather;
We're sorry if you’re living somewhere on sea,
We're sorry we didn't quite get it together in time,
And we still hope that you enjoy your legacy,
Somewhere on sea
Two parts: Sop and Alto – no bass riff
2. We wouldn't want you to believe we didn’t love you
We wouldn't want you to suppose we didn't care
Eighty per cent of our days, Thinking about you always
Just twenty per cent putting the carbon in the air,
Like we didn’t care
Sop, Alto and Bass riff – brrm, brrm,brrm…
3. We’re sorry we buried our poison in the garden
Best not to dig for a millennium or three
But if you do start a mine think of the plastic you'll find
And we still hope that you enjoy your legacy,
Somewhere on sea.

All on new tune except basses on brrm,
brrm riff
4. We only see what we can see, anything else is theory
Don't you come here bothering me
with a new doom'n'gloom prophecy
There's room for doubt and while the jury is out,
Why should our kids do without necessity?
First two lines Altos and tenors using verse 1 tune
5. As you can hear, starting from here we're going nowhere
'til we resolve how powerful we can be
First two lines Sops at same time using verse 4 tune
We only see economy, we didn't look at ecology
Tomorrow you're looking to me for an apology
First two lines Basses
Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power
last two lines all together:
We're sorry it took so long for us to sing the same song
And we still hope that you enjoy your legacy
somewhere on sea.
Ending all in harmony:
Basses start x4, then tenors x3, then altos x2, then sops x1
Wind power, wave power, sun power, save power
Last time
Wind power, wave power, sun power, (shout) Take power
last Somewhere on sea optional – we don’t sing it!
