Waterboys - The Wind In The Wires lyrics
Wake lady wake 
 the hills are in flood.
And the road we must take 
 is a river of blood.
And the wind in the wires
 and your heart like a cup
And I'm down in the war
 and you've got to get up
For mercy's sake
 wake lady wake
Dress lady dress
 put on your (jacket/skull-cap) and boots.
For the (thief/priest) has confessed
 and the chase is afoot.
And the hounds are behind 
 gunmen around every tree
And if it's all in our minds
 well, where else would it be
I suggest
 you dress lady, dress
This is the day, this is the day this is, 
 this is the day, this is, this is the day the day
This is the day
This is the day, this is the day this is, 
 this is the day the day, this is the day the day
This is the dayWaterboys - The Wind In The Wires - http://motolyrics.com/waterboys/the-wind-in-the-wires-lyrics.html
Our kingdom will crash
 like a sad piece of trash
(Swim Lady swim 
 the whole river across
Though our chances are slim
 and we're totally lost!
/
Swim Lady swim 
 Lady, don't refuse
Though our chances are slim
 and we're totally confused!)
There are clues to be found
 oh, and I'd ask my peers
But they're all dumbing down
 until this bad weather clears
We're out on a limb
 so swim lady, swim
This is the day, this is the day the day
 this is the day, this is the day
This is the day
 this is the day, this is the day the day
This is the day, this is the day the day
 this is the day
The kingdom will crash
 like an old piece of trash
