We had a difficult winter We had a rough few months When the storms came in off the coast If felt like they broke everything on us at once
It's easy enough to talk about blitz spirit When your not holding the roof up or 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 wanna spend the whole of my life indoors Lay low, I'm 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 on hearts
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 sign just got soaked just the same And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again
But I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors Lay low, I'm 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 masts Rejoice! Rebel! The storm has passed!
Cast up the crutches Or go with the cast Rejoice! Rebel! The storm has passed!
Rejoice! Rebel! The storm has passed!
But I don't wanna spend the whole of my life indoors (Rejoice! Rejoice! ) Lay low, I'm waiting on the next storm (Rejoice! Rebel! The storm has passed! ) I don't wanna spend the whole of my life inside (Rejoice! Rejoice! ) I wanna step out and face the sunshine (Rejoice! Rebel! The storm has passed! )
I'm not gonna live the whole of my life indoors I'm gonna step out and face the next storm
