A work in progress.
The rain pitter patters
Down the windowpane
Outside , the sound of the wind clearly sounds
Rattles the window frame , blows over the bins outside the front door
Empty can of pop , blowing down the street , it's ghostly echos as it rolls along
Cabdrivers taking their fairs safely home , moped riders delivering pizzas
That Gothic night
Laptop , charged up , connection made to the outside world , this is what is on
Line , seen that night
Parts of the U K , are flooded , people in peril
Some so stupid , with phone-cams , take snaps , last one they take
Is of them sweep away , do not weep for them , for they are to blame for their fate
Of that Night
Dad takes his little child to see the waves crashing against the sea wall
Lifeboat crew , called out to rescue them , they were lucky , they lived
To appear on T V at least!
As they would say up north in Lancashire: '' Nowt so daft as folk ''
Houses flooded out , villages cut off from the outside world
Trains , at a standstill , rail tracks washed away
Clefts , collapse , in to the sea below
All on line that night

THE NIGHT WEATHER
The power downThe rain pitter patters
Down the windowpane
Outside , the sound of the wind clearly sounds
Rattles the window frame , blows over the bins outside the front door
Empty can of pop , blowing down the street , it's ghostly echos as it rolls along
Cabdrivers taking their fairs safely home , moped riders delivering pizzas
That Gothic night
Laptop , charged up , connection made to the outside world , this is what is on
Line , seen that night
Parts of the U K , are flooded , people in peril
Some so stupid , with phone-cams , take snaps , last one they take
Is of them sweep away , do not weep for them , for they are to blame for their fate
Of that Night
Dad takes his little child to see the waves crashing against the sea wall
Lifeboat crew , called out to rescue them , they were lucky , they lived
To appear on T V at least!
As they would say up north in Lancashire: '' Nowt so daft as folk ''
Houses flooded out , villages cut off from the outside world
Trains , at a standstill , rail tracks washed away
Clefts , collapse , in to the sea below
All on line that night
