Songtext When the sun comes out John Wesley Harding

When the sun comes out

Its been raining for a million years
And the weather just wont turn
Try to build a fire round your place
And the damned logs refuse to burn
The braindead have been sitting on their sunbeds
Wheres heaven for its own sake
Lying dead or half-forgotten
At the bottom of a bottomless lake

But when the sun comes out
The worlds gonna go crazy
Everybodys gonna move their arms about
Cos what they believed is turned inside-out
When the sun comes out

Its been raining since I dont know when
Were all in for a big surprise
Go to the woods in your dreams tonight
And when you awake you wont believe your eyes
Its all the rage, itll make the front page
Gotta get the gutter press going down the drain
Butter melts if you leave it near the window
And its time to try and use a deckchair again

But when the sun comes out....

When the sun comes out
His pa will be so disappointed
To find out his son was double-jointed
Some will flounder
Some will be anointed
The son couldnt wait to do a turn-about

Its been raining but its gonna stop
Cats and dogs will shake themselves
Time to work, time to pick those hops
I gotta go and mend the greenhouse shelves
This was meant, well, its all heaven-sent
Go out naked and have no fear
One boy spent a little life in torment
But now hes grinning from ear to ear
Now hes grinning from here to here...
