Lyrics

The Window

[Intro]

Hey!

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]

Put on your cashmere sweater now

It'll give you it all

And you want it all, mm

So, doesn't that feel better now?

Blessed up like the before

Is springing the fall

[Chorus]

The Window kids, they want them changes

It's early days so they won't come

(La la-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

And they awake the mornin' after

Realise that it's all gone

(La la-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

It's all gone

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

It's all gone

[Verse 2]

Look out your window for a shout

They'll give you a call

They'll make you feel small

Tough kids got no doubt

Got no doubts at all

No doubts on my own

[Chorus]

The Window kids, they want them changes

It's early days so they won't come

(La la-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

They won't come

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

And they awake the mornin' after

Realise that it's all gone

(La la-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

It's all gone

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

It's all gone

[Chorus]

The Window kids, they want them changes

It's early days so they won't come

(La la-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

They won't come

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

They awake the mornin' after

Realise that it's all gone

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la)

It's all gone

(La-la, la la-la, la la-la, la la-la-la-la)

It's all gone
