Rain's coming through on the kitchen floor

(Has) blown a hole through our back door

And every hour we listen
Am riff
There's no news today

So we just talk about the weather

Now they've drafted in the T.A. and the riot police

Up on Calvary Hill, see them kneel and pray

Try and break us if they can
C riff
Take this all away, we'll still be here

Knock it down, we'll build again

Blow, wind, do your worst
Am riff
Flow, river, flow, wash us all away

We'll still talk about the weather
