Story behind the song
We have an ozone hole covering most of the country in summer and live in the pacific where rising waters will one day cover many of the popular Polynesian islands. Helen is not a bipolar patient, she is our Prime Minister who many people say is the best man for the job.
Lyrics
GREENHOUSE ©Luigi Cappel 2005 C Gmaj(add4) Am Greenhouse, each year we start up a new fad F C Gmaj Cdim Last year was Yuppies now its world gone bad Gmaj F C Our ozone layer’s shrinking F Gmaj C And Helen’s got depression on the run C Gmaj(add4) Am Greenhouse, now melanoma’s taking root F C Gmaj Cdim Soon we’ll be bathing in protective suits Gmaj F C We got here without thinking F Gmaj C And Helen’s got depression on the run C Gmaj(add4) Am Greenhouse, we’ll soon be living in the sea F C Gmaj Cdim With global warming, quakes and even tsunami Gmaj F C The planet wobbled on its axis F Gmaj C And Helen’s got depression on the run Break C Gmaj(add4) Am Greenhouse, Otago wilts beneath blue skies F C Gmaj Cdim The Auckland rain falls down like politicians lies Gmaj F C Our summer’s turned to winter F Gmaj C And Helen’s got depression on the run C Gmaj(add4) Am Greenies, driving diesels, puffing soot, I choke F C Gmaj Cdim At least the politicians closed the bars to smoke Gmaj F C Our speedways been abandoned F Gmaj C And Helen’s got depression on the run F G C I’m glad that Helen’s got depression on the run.
