Change

Every winter has an end there's no exception,

Every memory's an act of transformation,

All the rocks will one day melt beneath the sun,

Even Tory politicians will one day come unspun,

Change is never gonna change,

Nothing else will ever stay the same.

Butterflies and mountain hares and Arctic Foxes,

The forecast any given North Isles day,

The way we pass around the holy water

and take comfort from the way that nothing stays,

Your Grandad hunted whales down in South Georgia,

Now we’re wearing matching rain coats and we hunt with cameras.

Change is never gonna change,

nothing else will ever stay the same.

I can point at the forest,

I can say that it's mine,

I can hire a Cartographer to draw the boundary lines,

and after I'm gone there may still be trees,

None of those old souls will pause to honour me.

Change is never gonna change,

nothing else will ever stay the same.
