Fairweather friends are chasing the weather
They don't call us now
Fairweather friends, don't you bother
We don't want you anyhow
So close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own
Billboards beckon, they say come and buy
Is there nothing that's not for sale?
Seems no matter what you're buying
It's just shares in someone's jail
Close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own
I'm not saying we should stop believing
No, that's when your spirit dies
I'm not saying we should stop believing
Just stop believing lies
My father told me, stick with your family
And he was right, now I have no doubt
And he told me in only half a joke
Your friends are your friends till you find them out
Close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own
Close the door on the day
Close the door on the world's cruel ways
Close the door, let's stay at home
We'll start a world of our own
