Frank Turner - The Next Storm lyrics
[Frank Turner - The Next Storm lyrics]
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
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 to spend the
Whole of my life indoors
Laying low, and waiting on the next storm
I don't want to spend the
Whole of my life inside
I want to 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
Weather man is saying
Because the last time that I saw
Him he was on his 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, and waiting on the next storm
I don't want 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
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 (Rejoice, rebuild)
Laying low, and waiting on the next storm
(Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed)
I don't want spend the whole
Of my life inside (Rejoice, rebuild)
I want to step out, and face the sunshine
(Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed)
I'm not going to live the
Whole of my life indoors
I'm going to step out
And face the next storm
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
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 to spend the
Whole of my life indoors
Laying low, and waiting on the next storm
I don't want to spend the
Whole of my life inside
I want to 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
Weather man is saying
Because the last time that I saw
Him he was on his 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, and waiting on the next storm
I don't want 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
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 (Rejoice, rebuild)
Laying low, and waiting on the next storm
(Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed)
I don't want spend the whole
Of my life inside (Rejoice, rebuild)
I want to step out, and face the sunshine
(Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed)
I'm not going to live the
Whole of my life indoors
I'm going to step out
And face the next storm
