lyrics

You had time to get ready but it caught you unaware
You say it could not be predicted but all the warning signs were there

There’s a crack in the bedroom ceiling, there’s a drip where the rain gets in
But it’s been like that since you remember so it doesn’t mean anything

When you build the flood defences, build for the level of the sea
Don’t think about how high it’s been before but how high it could possibly be

You were born to be celebrated, you succeed in everything you do
There‘s no reason to be careful when nothing bad is going to happen to you

There’s a crack in the bedroom ceiling, you might check it when you have a chance
But it is not the time when the weather’s fine and your friends want to drink and dance

When you build the flood defences, build for the level of the sea
Don’t think about how high it’s been before but how high it could possibly be

Now you’re up to your neck in water, looking around for someone to blame
Whatever you do, it’s never you and this is going to be the same

When you build the flood defences, build for the level of the sea
Don’t think about how high it’s been before but how high it could possibly be
