Hugh Cornwell - Picked Up By The Wind lyrics

Watch out for the storm hide like an onion and keep yourself warm

Watch the barometer and study the form you've been warned

But if you never listened to a blind man's whim

You will never gain admission to the human swim

And your fusion will be fission all over again

Picked up by the wind

Take a look through the glass what's out there is coming up fast

Be prepared for the blast cause it won't last

If you ever suspected that you have sinned

If you ever expected a lottery win

You will never get infected if you don't jump in

Picked up by the wind

Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind

Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin

Think you need new clothes fallen asleep too often in those

Lose all your cares and your woes touch your toes

But if you never experience a change of plan

You will never enjoy the verse that don't scan

You'll lose the meaning of life and end up like Desperate Dan

Picked up by the wind

Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind

Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin

What's that knock at your door

what's that junk mail doing all over the floor

Who's that being a bore and what's in store

Keep your eyes on the sky for a warning sign

Keep your hands on your boots because they could be mine

And if you're swimming upside down well it can turn out fine

Picked up by the wind
