lyrics

I heard there’s a perfect storm.
From which all beautiful things are torn
It swears it don’t mean you any harm
But it will kill you as long as it stays
It will kill you as long as it stays

If you’d blinked, you’d never have seen her
She’s like a junkyard dog but 10 times meaner
She swears to god you don’t need her
But you can keep her as long as she stays.
You can keep her as long as she stays

Blows into town and brings your whole world down
Quicker than a bottle of gin
No amount of rope or a hand to hold
Could wrangle in that westward wind

Her cloud it parks outside my door
Made up of all the bones of all her lovers before.
She swears to the sky that she don’t need them
But if she don’t need them then why do they stay
If she don’t need them them why do they stay
If she don’t need them, why do they stay?

(Chorus)

That storm it rests quiet at night
As her head lays careless by my side
Each goodnights another lie
At least she needs you as long as she stays
At least she needs you as long as she stays
At least she needs you as long as she stays

Blows into town and brings your whole world down
Quicker than a bottle of gin
She’s quick and she crass and she knows this won’t last
There ain’t no wrangling a westward wind.
There ain’t no wrangling a westward wind

Wilkinson is known for his high energy and engaging performance that has been known as “theater rock” in some circles and Out of the Blue called them: “A touch of Cash fused with early 90’s Barenaked Ladies style rock.” ... more
