Hurricane

Stiff Little Fingers · Tinderbox [1997]

Hey you, yeah I'm trying to get through



Past that chip upon your shoulder



Come here need a word in your ear



This can't go on much longer

You break what we try to create



And I'm sure that you enjoy it



Don't care if it's proper or fair

Just as long as it's annoying



I see a stillness in your eyes



Says it's a game



And it's a shame



Hurricane



As chaos rages round you



You're sure that you're not to blame

I know your name



Hurricane



You smile as you flatter and lie

And twist the knife behind us



So what if the problems we've got



Will tie us up and bind us



It's tough no-one's calling your bluff



But I have made my mind up



Take care now you'd better prepare

I've taken my last wind up



You stand there smiling

Like you weren't the one to blame



You're in the frame



Hurricane



I stand here screaming



I know your game

That I've taken all I'll take



Hurricane



I see a stillness in your eyes



Says it's a game



And it's a shame

Hurricane



As chaos rages round you



You're sure that you're not to blame

I know your name



Hurricane



I stand here screaming

That I've taken all I'll take
