lyrics

SOS EMERGENCY
IM CALLING TO YOU FROM A LITTLE DINGHY
THAT I BOUGHT ONE SUMMER FROM COMBE MARTIN
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D NEED IT IN THE BACK GARDEN
BUT THE RAINS THEY CAME AND NEVER STOPPED
THE WATER LEVELS NEVER DROPPED
IVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH A SAFE POINT IN A STORM
BUT I FEAR SHE’S BEEN SWEPT AWAY IN THE FLOOD

NOW IM LOST LIKE KEVIN COSTNER IN A WATER WORLD
SPINNING IN A MAELSTROM, CAUGHT IN A SWIRL
AND IM DODGING ALL THE DEBRIS THAT’S FLOATING DOWNSTREAM
THE SHEDS, AND THE CARS, AND THE FALLEN TREES
AND THE WEATHERMAN'S LOOKING JUST LIKE A FOOL
THIS LITTLE APRIL SHOWER TURNED INTO A MONSOON

SO I FLOATED THROUGH VILLAGES AND TOWNS
PAST THE BELL AND BEAR, AND THE ROSE AND CROWN
THERE WAS WATER WATER EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK
THIS DINGHY IS DEFLATING AND I SWEAR IM GONNA SINK

NOW I SAIL LIKE CAPTAIN WILLARD IN HIS MOTORBOAT
INTO A HEART OF DARKNESS JUST TRYING TO STAY AFLOAT
STILL DODGING ALL THE DEBRIS FLOATING DOWNSTREAM
THE HEARTS AND THE SOULS AND THE BROKEN DREAMS
AND THE WEATHERMAN STILL LOOKS LIKE A FOOL
THIS LITTLE APRIL SHOWER TURNED INTO A MONSOON

WHATS THE PLURAL OF ALBATROSS
WITH THE LUCK IM HAVING I MUST HAVE KILLED THE WHOLE GOD-DAMN FLOCK

THEN ON A NEARBY ROOFTOP I CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOU
YOUR HOLLERING AND WAVING FOR ME TO RESCUE YOU
SO YOU TAKE MY HAND AND JOIN ME ON THIS LITTLE DINGHY
AND WE SAIL INTO THE SUN AS THE WATERS RECEDE
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO A FLAMING JUNE
THIS LAST HAPPY CHORUS IS THE END OF THE MONSOON

CULT OF WEDGE..... Is the musical alter ego of Pete Hackett.
Its a bit like a car crash involving members of - E.L.O, Genesis, Human League, Kraftwerk, Motorhead and Yes. With John Shaft and Starsky and Hutch being the first on the scene, with Beck and Air driving the ambulances! ... more
