A Message from Andy:
-
Here is my new song Excuse Me Your Planet Is Burning. (© 2007 SOCAN)
I would really like it to be heard by as many people as possible.
I’d also be happy if others want to sing and/or record it. Please think about how you might be able to help me with this project. For example…
-
Forward the mp3 and words to others whom you think would enjoy it (or need to hear it)
-
Send it to teachers who might like to use it in schools
-
Send it to politicians, activists, environmentalists
-
Learn it and sing it to your kids, friends, and anyone who’ll listen!
-
Help me find a way (funds, contacts) to make a studio recording of it with a video that could be put up on U-Tube etc
-
Any other ideas.
I am more than happy to sing it live at events, on radio etc.
Thanks for your help and I hope you like the song.

EXCUSE ME YOUR PLANET IS BURNING
Andy Vine May 2007
Excuse me your planet is burning
Excuse me it’s really on fire
It may not seem hot where you’re standing
But believe me the flame’s getting higher
I really don’t want to disturb you
I know that the party was fun
But I think if you like to get out alive
It’s time to start cooling it down
‘Cos this fire is all of our making.
This fire is fueled by our greed
This fire will end when we come back again
To only consume what we need.
Excuse me I see you’re not listening
I wonder if you really heard
Or if you’d rather believe in some strange fantasy
That says that the fire’s not there.
Can’t you see that the ones who deny it
Are the ones who would have most to lose?
It’s their fear of losing their wealth and their power
That makes them tell lies to confuse.
Excuse me for minding your business
But if you love your kids please be true
To that love in your heart and make a new start
On a lifestyle called keeping it cool.
It won’t hurt too much if you hurry
And get all your buddies on board
There’s no time to delay. Let me show you the way.
It’s time to start loving this world. |
