LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud
The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”
All the world is a stage in The Damage Age
Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m
A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.
“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”
