Storm Warning Lyrics

hell for leather, lathered, drunk
you're soused, you're pissed, you're sunk
the jukebox now is drunk
just along the way
i had a call last saturday
to say i'd thrown my friends away
reversed the charges
on them all
i made a lot of calls

is there a storm coming
or are we just another shower
is there a storm warning
has someone just cut the power
is there a storm coming
or are we just another shower
is this a storm coming
coming
coming
coming

i would have kept you free from harm
rang the bells or raised alarms
i would have kept them
all at bay
except i thought i heard you say
you're the leper boy
you can't come in
the monkey god is now your king
you're out, you're in
you're out, you're in
you're out, you're in
you're out

<i>repeat first verse and chorus to end</i>

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yeah the minority could be the kind of social/musical group you belong to

(Like, say, emo. The kids think they're oh-so-different, and that they're going to change the world but really it's just a phase and in about 2 years there'll be a new one)

well, I guess the guy here has been thrown out of home, cos he's done something bad.

"is there a storm coming or are we just another shower"

not sure about the chorus, but I think it represents some kind of minority. for example, "are we the only ones or are there more?"

great song, anyway.

@ilikesongs perhaps he's been drinking . . . .

I always interpreted "Is there a storm comin', or are we just another shower?" as a reference to revolution. Is this generation going to change something in a storm, or will it just be another ineffectual shower. "I would have kept you free from harm, rang the bells or raised alarms, I would have kept them all at bay, except I thought I heard you say, you're the leper boy, you can't come in" seems to mean there always people trying to change things, but they're always rejected.
