“Message in a Bottle” - Marsh Family adaptation of The Police song with a climate twist
We were going to do a song about the coronation of King Charles III today, which is obviously an important waypoint in the nation’s history, and the cause of much celebration. There was much impressive parading, lots of hearty singing, some fancy outfits, some nice references to modernity and a whole load of important tradition on display.
But we wanted to use a bit of the extra time we’ve been given to sing about something more important, and more urgent, and more relevant to the future. So we picked a topic that has always been close to the new king’s heart: the environment and the need to stop destroying it. The song is one of our favourite Police tracks, released as the lead single on Reggatta de Blanc in 1979, and their first UK number one single.

LYRICS:
A disaster waits
The planet’s on its knees oh
With every centigrade
A rising of the seas oh
More deadliness: emissions everywhere
Reckless policies that lead us to despair oh
I’ll send an to the world
I’ll send an to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
The years have passed to impose controls
They should have known this, yet didn’t start
Dying hope - extremes in the weather
Have to change our lives
But every step is hard
I’ll send an to the world
I’ll send an to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Oh, message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
With more global warming, we know what we will endure
Mass extinctions, bodies washed up on the shore
Cities now unknown that we had all known
Many million castaways, looking for a home
I’ll send an to the world
I’ll send an to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out an .
