lyrics

Watching up ahead
A train crashing round a bend
It’s happening in slow motion
Well it seems its gonna be
Times or torrid seas
With analysis by 3 wise monkeys

Well for ages we’ve known
Felt it getting close
Never gonna get to go
Where the weather suits our clothes

Like a colony of frogs
Sitting on a paradise log
Being heated up by the blog
And as the heat hits the roof
We’re frog soup
Spilt in an abyss
With no parachute


Well for ages we’ve known
Felt it getting close
Never gonna get to go
Where the weather suits our clothes

On the news, they say
Folks houses getting washed away
By rivers and the sea day after day
And no one did too much
Until they lost their yachts
Paralysis by investments

Well for ages we’ve known
Felt it getting close
Never gonna get to go
Where the weather suits our clothes
