The Mission - Shelter From The Storm [BBC Radio 1 Session for Janice Long Show, 1986]

It's raining cats and dogs and I'm soaked right through the skin
Running blind in the God given light, is where I've been
It's plans to be laid, deals to be made
Price to be paid and prayers to be said
For God only knows where I lay my head

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

My head is bowed as the wind blows hard and the rain is beating cruel
Walking on water barefoot, in this whirlpool
Gods for plays and days on days
? on ?, these words of play
Give me strength and give me praise and ?? could I lay

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

It's been a long time since I rock 'n' rolled
It's been a long time since I did that stroll
Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm

It's raining cats and dogs and I'm soaked right through the skin
Running blind in the God given light, is where I've been
It's plans to be laid, deals to be made
Price to be paid and prayers to be said
For God only knows where I lay my head

Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
Give me shelter, shelter from the storm
