When The Sun Comes Out Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

It's been raining for a million years 

And the weather just won't turn 

Try to build a fire round your place 

And the damned logs refuse to burn 

The braindead have been sitting on their sunbeds 

Where's heaven for it's own sake 

Lying dead or half-forgotten 

At the bottom of a bottomless lake 

But when the sun comes out 

The world's gonna go crazy 

Everybody's gonna move their arms about 

Cos what they believed is turned inside-out 

When the sun comes out 

It's been raining since I don't know when 

We're all in for a big surprise 

Go to the woods in your dreams tonight 

And when you awake you won't believe your eyes 

It's all the rage, it'll make the front page 

Gotta get the gutter press going down the drain 

Butter melts if you leave it near the window 

And it's time to try and use a deckchair again 

But when the sun comes out.... 

When the sun comes out 

His pa will be so disappointed 

To find out his son was double-jointed 

Some will flounder 

Some will be anointed 

The son couldn't wait to do a turn-about 

It's been raining but it's gonna stop 

Cats and dogs will shake themselves 

Time to work, time to pick those hops 

I gotta go and mend the greenhouse shelves 

This was meant, well, it's all heaven-sent 

Go out naked and have no fear 

One boy spent a little life in torment 

But now he's grinning from ear to ear 

Now he's grinning from here to here...
