Lyrics
:
(Come on let's rock and roll now) In the dirty towns on the dirty streets There�s a violent wind that blows Across the generations men like me Have been swept to these crossroads Blown out of house, blown out of home Blown down the road On the wind that blows away my words Blows away my reason Blows away my soul Taking my existence Oh, the wind blows away my words There�s a rushing sound that is sometimes heard When your mind won�t let you sleep It�s the flickering sound of a thief Who�s come to tear up all these dreams Stealing from the heart, stealing from the soul Stealing from the future On the wind that blows away my words Blows away my reason Blows away my soul Taking my existence Oh the wind (oh the wind) Blows away (blows away) My words I'm blown out house Blown out of home Blown down the road On the wind that blows away my words Stealing from the heart, stealing from the soul Stealing from the future On the wind (oh the wind) that blows away my words (oh the wind) Blows away my reason (blows away) Blows away my soul (oh the wind) Taking my existence (blows away) Oh the wind (oh the wind) Blows away (blows away) Blows away my words (Oh the wind) Blows away my reason (blows away) Blows away my soul (oh the wind) Taking my existence (blows away) Oh the wind (oh the wind) Blows away (blows away) Blows away my words Oh the wind Blows away My words

Mike Peters Notes
:One of my favourites on the album. I love the performance, I love the way this song is driven by Twist in fine form on the Drum Kit, Eddie on the Bass and Sharp motoring along on Fender Telecaster. This was written at various times during the ‘Change’ album tours and was finished in the studio.
