Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire
[Verse 2]
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend (We can work it out)
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend (We can work it out)
[Verse 3]
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
[Verse 4]
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can
Only we can work it out
[Verse 5]
It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire
[Verse 6]
Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen
Happen
[Verse 7]
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend (We can work it out)
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend (We can work it out)
[Verse 8]
When the wind blows (When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk (When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows
[Verse 9]
When the wind blows (When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk (When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows
We can
Only we can work it out
[Verse 10]
Some of us are horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Follow in the footsteps of a soldier, girl
It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world
[Verse 11]
Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen?
Happen
[Verse 12]
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark
[Verse 13]
We can work it out
Better late than never
There's a change in the weather (We can work it out)
[Verse 14]
When the wind blows (When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk (When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows
[Verse 15]
When the wind blows (When the wind blows)
When the mothers talk (When the mothers talk)
When the wind blows
We can
Only we can work it out
