lyrics
The wind was howling and the shutters flailing
Time was on our side and my heart was racing
Holes in knees try to please our mother
Plastic cups of tea tell her you love her
Oh, this is the start
Won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Born from thunder she rose
Summer came and the bulbs were popping
He asked me if I’d like to taste what he’s been puffing
Now I’m mistaken for my mother
Choke on smoke but god knows I love her
Oh, this is the part,
Won’t you write about it, write about it,
Born from thunder
And now oh, chase away those cars
Won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh, won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
No, don’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh, won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh
So the fire’s on the outside, racing towards the front line, breaking down the peace and silence
Oh she’s a wild one
Oh the fire’s on the outside, racing towards the front line, breaking down the peace and silence
Oh she’s a wild one
So the fire’s on the outside, racing towards lines, breaking these binds, so the thunder started
Oh the fire’s on the outside, racing towards lines, breaking these binds, oh the thunder started,
She rose
She rose
She rose
She rose

This is such a wonderful album. Superb songs and singing. The track Dwelling by the Weir brings to mind Joni Mitchell, it is that good. Favourite track is Waking up to Stone. Fabulous! dorsetmorriarty
