  • We had a difficult winter
    We had rough few months
    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
    And the pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain
    And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again

    But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
    Laying low, waiting on the next storm
    I don't want 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 needs knees, he was praying
    And the preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same
    And we wondered if we'd ever get dry again

    But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
    Laying low, waiting on the next storm
    I don't want 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, cut off the cast
    Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
    Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed

    I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors
    Laying low, waiting on the next storm
    I don't want 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 Writer/s: FRANK TURNER
