Shelter Lyrics - Boo Radleys

I remember at school there was always some fool 

teaching us about the past 

Pictures of kids, starving, eating out of bins 

Man we all had to laugh 

It's hard to believe we were told with relief 

It couldn't happen now of course 

It's easy to expound with your head in the ground 

I've since learnt that and more 

What is there to do I'm allright so are you 

but outside there are TB streets 

You can cry a lot say 'Oh! my God!' 

but as an action it is incomplete 

put money in the hands of those who understand 

Give shelter of the roofless heads 

It's hard to deny when you open your eyes 

and listen to yourself instead 

And you'll think you've gone crazy 

but you hope it will pass 

It's a sickening feeling maybe it won't last 

It shouldn't be happening at this point in time 

With these houses standing empty
