Picked Up By The Wind Lyrics - Dirty Dozen Live - Hugh Cornwell

Watch out for the storm hide like an onion and keep yourself warm 

Watch the barometer and study the form you've been warned 

But if you never listened to a blind man's whim 

You will never gain admission to the human swim 

And your fusion will be fission all over again 

Picked up by the wind 

Take a look through the glass what's out there is coming up fast 

Be prepared for the blast cause it won't last 

If you ever suspected that you have sinned 

If you ever expected a lottery win 

You will never get infected if you don't jump in 

Picked up by the wind 

Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind 

Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin 

Think you need new clothes fallen asleep too often in those 

Lose all your cares and your woes touch your toes 

But if you never experience a change of plan 

You will never enjoy the verse that don't scan 

You'll lose the meaning of life and end up like Desperate Dan 

Picked up by the wind 

Picked up by the wind picked up by the wind 

Picked up by the wind you ain't safe inside your skin 

What's that knock at your door 

what's that junk mail doing all over the floor 

Who's that being a bore and what's in store 

Keep your eyes on the sky for a warning sign 

Keep your hands on your boots because they could be mine 

And if you're swimming upside down well it can turn out fine 

Picked up by the wind
