The Calm Before The Storm Lyrics

A butterfly in the sitting room
Sudden sneezing overhead
Dragonflies skim the swimming pool
A dog is barking to be fed
And it won't be long
'Til we get the news
Though I'll soon be gone
I'll be there, sucker who's
Always had the most to lose
When we get this news
Pheasants scatter, rabbits flee
A car departing in the rain
On the flightpath, a 747
Round the bend a rocky lane
And it won't be long
'Til we get the news
Though I could be wrong
I'll bet I'm the one who's left
With the tears and the telephone threat
Who'll always be the most in debt
When we get the news
Baby, baby, did I ever tell you
That I worked out where I went wrong
