Cloudburst At Shingle Street

We climb the cliffs And hang from trees Wrap the rocks and pave the beach State of shock at flick of switch

(mindless) into the cloudburst overhead I wanna get my face wet It's been buried in the sand for years (headlong) into the cloudburst naked There's really no escaping it There's gonna be a cloudburst here

Come out of your shell And look at the sea It may be just as well You stayed here with me Private hell at turn of a key

(blindly) into the cloudburst overhead I wanna get my face wet It's been buried in these hands for years (mindless) into the cloudburst naked There's really no escaping it There's gonna be a cloudburst here

And it's dawning on me I've been a cork in the ocean, been bobbing in the North Sea Then take this vest of plaster, these boots of concrete And mark them down as surplus, return to Mulberry...

When I was small I was in love in love with everything Now there's only you
