We had
a difficult winter
We had a rough
few months
And when the storms
came in off the coast
it felt like they broke
everything on us at once
It's easy enough
to talk about Blitz spirit
when you're not
holding the roof up
and knee deep in it
But the pictures
and the papers
got ruined by the rain
and we wonder if
it'll ever get dry again
But I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life indoors
Laying low
and waiting on
the next storm
I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life inside
I wanna step out
and face the sunshine
We lost faith
in the omens
We lost faith
in the Gods
We just ended up
clutching at the
empty rituals
like gamblers
clutching long odds
And I don't care what
the weatherman is saying
because the last time
that I saw him he was
on his knees
he was praying
The preachers
and the scientists
got soaked just the same
and we wonder if
it ever gets dry again
But I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life indoors
Laying low
and waiting on
the next storm
I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life inside
I wanna step out
and face the sunshine
So open the shutters
Raise up the mast
Rejoice, rebuild
the storm has passed
Cast off the crutches
Count up the cost
rejoice, rebuild
the storm has passed
Rejoice, rebuild
the storm has passed
I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life indoors
Laying low
and waiting on
the next storm
I don't wanna spend
the whole of
my life inside
I wanna step out
and face the sunshine
I'm not gonna live
the whole of
my life indoors
I'm gonna step out
and face the next storm
