Taken from their 2001 CD Cold Frontier by the excellent Show of Hands. The song seems was prescient of the floods suffered in the UK in 2006 and 2007 which must have been inconceivable a few years back

@MrOyysch It's not "blaming immigrants", its a song about things being 'upset' as we have too much rain, others have too little, and for all the aid that is sent it makes no difference and people look for new lives elsewhere.

Only due to temperatures rising back towards what they were 2000 years ago... the world runs in cycles.

They are good at writing songs about countryside disaster, their song about the foot and mouth is also awesome and touching...

Erm...guys, I don't think the flood this song is about has much to do with excess water. Listen to the words...

Thank you for your comment. The song is of course multi-faceted, covering flood, climate change, immigration and comments on financial issues in a prescient manner. On the other hand, this was done in the aftermath of UK unseasonable floods and before the appearance of the credit crisis albeit not before the clampdown on civil liberties by the current government.
