lyrics

I don't know if the roof will stay on this place tonight
Rain's coming through on the kitchen floor
Scandinavian wind howling off the sea
(Has) blown a hole through our back door

And every hour we listen
There's no news today
So we just talk about the weather

Now they've drafted in the T.A. and the riot police
Loud-hailers call my name
Everyone's on night-shift, no one else can sleep
Eyes front, it's Judgement Day

Up on Calvary Hill, see them kneel and pray
In the name of all that's good
I'll just cross myself, you do the same
And wait for Sunday

Blow, wind, do your worst
Flow, river, flow, wash us all away
We'll still talk about the weather

They can look down on us, see if it amuses them
Try and break us if they can
Take this all away, we'll still be here
Knock it down, we'll build again

Blow, wind, do your worst
Flow, river, flow, wash us all away
We'll still talk about the weather
