HEAVY WEATHER (Mike Gibbins)
[from Archeology CD - recorded 2002 - released U.S. 2002]

I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand
Just said, I don't understand
I do the best I can
The best I can

I don't understand
Still, I don't understand
Somebody shake my hand
I do the best I can
Somebody shake my hand
Come on, shake my hand

Don't wanna shake you
Don't wanna break you
Don't wanna shake you down
I'm gonna come around

Letters for two and you together
And we'll be fine, we'll be forever
Open our minds and come together
We got the time, it's now or never
I won't forsake you
Or drop and break you
I want you for myself
I won't let you down

I think we could, could do this better
Turn this around, down to the letter
I'll be your fool for now and ever
Open our minds and come together
Don't wanna break you
Don't wanna take you
Don't wanna shake you down
I'll make you come around

Everybody's seen some heavy weather
Everybody's seen some heavy weather
Open our minds and come together
We got the time to make it better
I won't forsake you
Or drop and break you
I want you for myself
I won't let you down

We can make good, can make this better
Turn this around, down to the letter
Everybody's seen some heavy weather
Everybody's seen some heavy weather

[electric violin solo]
[slowed down voice: "I said, I don't understand a word of this thing"]

Letters for two and you together
And we'll be fine, we'll be forever
Open our minds and come together
Everybody's seen some heavy weather
Give us a kiss, I'll make it better
We got this down, down to the letter
Everybody's seen some heavy weather
Open our minds and come together
We got the time to make this better
We got the time to make this better
We got the time to make this better

[electric violin solo]

I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand
Come on and shake my hand
Shake my hand
Shake it

[variable speed voices]
