about

*In the UK, a “shower” is an expression for someone/something considered to be incompetent or useless. It’s famously used by Terry Thomas in the satirical comedy film I’m Alright Jack where he describes factory workers as being “an absolute shower” - www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L5LNIi5bAs

lyrics

Somewhere it’s turning out to be a beautiful day
But here on my parade the rain is forecast to stay
Dark clouds forming
Weather warning on the radio
This is a new low

Watching the well of human kindness as it becomes drier
People still pouring all their faith into a selfish denier
It’s a shower*
Cut the power and end this puppet show
This is a new low

I wish it all would wash down the drain
And we can start all over again

Out there the prospect’s looking grim, it’s still coming down
Waiting for reason to prevail but it’s nowhere to be found
