Pogues Weather

Something less than brilliant
Luckily they're grading on the curve
A life thought most resilient sabotaged by chronic lack of nerve
Lack of nerve
You should know better than to bet the farm on one suggested horse
It's all out of your hands, so take your seat and watch it run its course
Run its course
Baby it's Pogues weather again, it blows in from the west
And I'm afraid that I'm not man enough to take the test
To face it down, determination's fled
From Pogues weather again
Communication's on the blink
I fear I've let you down
The guns, the sex, the kitchen sink
Pack it all, get out of town
Out of town
The drum from Panama
It's beautiful, but always drops the beat
And you could bang your fingers raw announcing our retreat
Our retreat
Baby it's Pogues weather again, I should buy some warmer clothes
'Cause I'm afraid I'm not the man, the man you think you know
I'm scared and running, scared and running from the cold
It's summer in the book I'm reading
It's summer in Siam
But that's not where you are and that's not where I am
I'm scared and running, I'm scared and running
Let me lie my face down in the warmer sand
It's Pogues weather again, it's bitter and cruel
It's Pogues weather again, I'm still a failure to you baby
It's Pogues weather again
