When the sun explodes
And engulfs the earth,
Wouldn’t it be annoying
If you’d just put out the washing?
When the sun explodes
And goes supernova,
The tiles that you were grouting
In the bathroom now are meaningless.
When the sun explodes
On a Tuesday afternoon,
Some time in late February,
You wanted some winter sun.
When the solar winds pop
And blow away the atmosphere,
You’d have to laugh ironically,
That really is climate change.
When the sun exhausts its fuel
And begins to consume itself
You could knock me down with a feather
I just paid off the car.
When the sun explodes
Having just bought new curtains
‘The sun is in my eyes’, you’d complained.
Well, it is now.
Oh oh oh it’s a terrible thing.
Sudden annihilation on a Tuesday afternoon
Oh oh oh it’s a terrible thing.
Your dinner got burned and so did the whole of everything.
The molecules that makes us
Will eventually be vaporised
Some time in the next fifty million years.
Here’s a picture of a kitten.
