  • My features form with a change in the weather
    We can't
    We can work it out
    My features form with a change in the weather
    We can't
    We can work it out
    When the wind blows
    When the mothers talk
    When the wind blows
    When the wind blows
    When the mothers talk
    When the wind blows
    We can work it out

    It's not that you're not good enough
    It's just that we can make you better
    Given that you pay the price
    We can keep you young and tender
    Following in the footsteps of a funeral pyre
    You were paid not listen now your house is on fire

    Wake me up when things get started
    When everything starts to happen

    My features form with a change in the weather

    Some of us horrified
    Others never talk about it
    But when the weather starts to burn
    Then you'll know that you're in trouble
    Following in the footsteps of a soldier girl
    It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world

    Don't you feel your luck is changing
    When everything starts to happen
    Put your head right next to my heart
    The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark
