The calm before the storm - Pet Shop Boys

A butterfly in the sitting room

Sudden sneezing overhead

Dragonflies skim the swimming pool

The dog is barking to be fed

And it won’t be long

'til we get the news

Though I’ll soon be gone

I’ll be the sucker who’s

Always had the most to lose

When we get this news

Pheasants scatter, rabbits flee

A car departing in the rain

On the flight path a 747

Round the bend a rocky lane

And it won’t be long

'til we get the news

Though I could be wrong

I bet I’m the one who’s left

With the tears and the telephoned threat

Who’ll always be the most in debt

When we get the news

Baby, baby, did I ever tell you

That I worked out where I went wrong?
