Second single from our forthcoming album, Goodbye River, due out on 25th March 2023

lyrics

Got a head full of ideas
Nothing in the tank
My hand is on the tiller
But the boat already sank
And you are in the bathroom painting circles in the sky
When the rain comes down
They’re gonna hang us out to dry

I kept the engine running
Foot already primed
I had the crazy feeling
Maybe I’d leave you behind
And out of the darkness comes a one-legged spy
Says when the rain comes down
They’ll surely hang you out to dry

There’s a rumpus in the back room
Someone’s knocking down the wall
And you are in the upstairs bar
Drinking something tall
Cousin Bill’s in the corner
He’s whispering a lie
He says the rain’s come down
And now they’ll hang us out to dry

The lights they start to flicker
The mice all scurry round
The last one on the runway
Is a newspaper hound
But the biggest fish they ever saw
Swam off with the fly

Because the rain came down
And now they hung them out to dry
the rain came down
And now they hung them out to dry
the rain came down
And now they hung them out to dry
The rain poured down and they hung us out to dry
