lyrics

BLIMEY! DROUGHT SKY
She’s threatening to sue me but I’m not in the mood let’s get this thing over and we can get some food they called me simple wont even hold the door got a brother just like you I don’t see him any more I won’t go back I daren’t turn around the blue skies are tumbling down naked and shivering but still so polite whoever shouts loudest will surely be right we grew up together then we fell apart you broke my nose I only broke your heart I wont go back I daren’t turn around the good times are on their way it weren’t just the winter that kept you inside I wont let your memories keep me alive it’s daft and it scares me how they wont let you near them and all you can hope for is to go before the children I wont go back I daren’t turn around the blue skies are crumbling now I wont go back I wont go back.
