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're wondered if they'd ever get dry again
But I don't want to spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low and waiting on the next storm
I dont want to spend the whole of my life inside
I want to step out and face the sunshine
We lost facith in the omens
We lost faith in the gods
We jsut ended up clutching at the empty rituals like gamblers clutching long odds
And I don't care what the weather man is saying becasue the last time I saw him he was on his knees he was praying
The preachers and the scientists get soaked just the same and we wondered if they'd ever get dry again
But I don't want to spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low and waiting on the next storm
I dont want to spend the whole of my life inside
I want to step out and face the sunshine
So open the shutters
Raise up the mast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
Catch off the crutches
Cut off the cast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
I don't want to spend the whole of my life indoors
Laying low and waiting on the next storm
I dont want to spend the whole of my life inside
I want to 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.
