about

CAN'T BREATHE
This is about pollution. I recorded it in 2014 and how important this phrase has become since then. In 2020. we need to stand with anyone at anytime who says they can't breathe. it's a literal and a universal call to action. It's a basic human need that can never be justifiably interfered with.

lyrics

CAN’T BREATHE

Caravans and lorries with trailers
Hold-ups and horns and hooting all day
Traffic jams and motorway failures
Still can’t find a way
Can’t breathe, can’t run from here or stay
So obvious it takes your breath away

CFCs and my inhaler
Petrol fumes and noise
A hole in the sky. The air is failing
All the girls and boys
Can’t breathe, Can’t run around and play
So obvious it takes your breath away

Global warming, ozone depletion
Cars that breathe pollution.
Killing the trees beyond all reason
Still no solution
Can’t breathe. Can’t run around all day
So obvious it takes your breath away

Hold your breath and count to 10
Hold your breath all day
Frightened to death to start breathing again
The games we play.
Can’t breathe. Can’t stay round here or leave.
So obvious…
Can’t breathe…
