Typhoon Night, Shout It Out

Lyrics

Wind is leaning on the window
Like it owes us all some rent
Four of us in a rented kitchen
With the shutters taped and bent
Somebody found a candle stub
Somebody found a spoon
We're banging on a cooking pot
And howling at the moon

Let it blow, let it blow
We've got nowhere else to go

So shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Every one of us is dry and alright
Tambourine and a borrowed light
Shout it out till the morning's bright
Let the rain come down, let the thunder knock
We're a little too loud for the front door lock
Shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Leave a light on for somebody tonight

Power's gone and so's the fridge hum
So we eat the ice cream first
Cheap guitar with a broken string
Still sounds like the best and worst
Neighbours knocking with a flashlight
Bringing crackers and a song
Now the whole damn block is singing
And the storm can sing along

Let it blow, let it blow
We've got nowhere else to go

So shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Every one of us is dry and alright
Tambourine and a borrowed light
Shout it out till the morning's bright
Let the rain come down, let the thunder knock
We're a little too loud for the front door lock
Shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Leave a light on for somebody tonight

And when the eye goes over
It goes quiet as a prayer
We stand out on the doorstep
With the stars all in our hair
Then the other wall comes roaring
And we run back in to sing
Because the thing about a hurricane
Is it can't take everything

So shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Every one of us is dry and alright
Tambourine and a borrowed light
Shout it out till the morning's bright
Let the rain come down, let the thunder knock
We're a little too loud for the front door lock
Shout it out, it's a typhoon night
Leave a light on for somebody tonight

Shout it out, shout it out
Till the morning's bright
