Lyrics A Downside To The Upstairs - The Lucksmiths

A Downside To The Upstairs

It was a fine idea in autumn
On the palest afternoons
Parallelograms of sunshine fell across the room
I woke up and it was winter
With the rain across the roofs
And the weather turned me into a bit of a recluse
If I needed an excuse
That mistake was mine to make, I know
Even so
Seasons come and seasons go
I threw open both the windows
With the coming of the spring
There were weeks I didn’t want for anything
I guess I should have seen it coming
But summer caught me unawares
I found out there was a downside to the upstairs
That mistake was mine to make, I know
Even so
Seasons come and seasons go
Oh!
the humidity
Oh!
the stupidity
