The Housemartins - I Smell Winter lyrics

Now the sun was in my eyes So forgive me if I was blind But I can suddenly see the light Now the blinds are raised, Now he's finally spoken Winter's finally broken Realise I'm heading for colder days He can feel it just around the corner He can feel it on every breath And something tells him its good goodbye summer And something tells him, its the kiss of d**h Losing at the tracks, loosens all his taps, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) There's a chill down my spine, but the weather's fine, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) You better bu*ton up your coat Or it will catch you in the pit of the throat You can certainly feel the wind blow When you're by yourself, And when the snow has finally melted You better think about who you shelter 'Cos one of these days it might just be someone else And he's searched underground and overground for a partner Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw Losing at the tracks, loosens all his taps, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) There's a chill down my spine, but the weather's fine, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) I smell winter I smell winter I smell winter I.....(smell winter) And he's searched underground and overground for a partner Played his harmonica 'til his lips were raw He's looked through tins and rubbish bins just for an answer So far each year he's drawn the shortest straw Losing at the tracks, loosens all his taps, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) There's a chill down my spine, but the weather's fine, I smell winter on his breath (I smell winter) I smell winter (I smell winter) I smell winter (I smell winter)
