Thompson, Richard - Let It Blow Lyrics
He was a species on the verge of extinction
She was an air New Zealand hostess
They were mystically joined, like rawicz and landauer
Like pinky and perky, like porgy and bess
O he loved the pursuit and the romance
When the bride's veil lifted, his mind soon drifted
At least that's what happened before
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me I'm glad I'm alive
O she loved the clinking of glasses
When the toast was to noble and princes
With her keen eye for curtains and chintzes
She had all the furniture ordered
By the time they were naming the date
And her mother came speeding from distant dunedin
To help with the flowers and cake
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me I'm glad I'm alive
At the chapel of partial remembrance
The ushers went into a seizure
Mr. Bacchus, they said, should we stand on our head?
Would sackcloth and ashes displease you?
And they honeymooned down in Ibiza
Where the sun and the nightlife were hot
As she lay on the sand, he said, isn't it grand?
I bring all of my wives to this spot
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me I'm glad I'm alive
A life of volcanic activity
Left him nothing to spout but hot air
A long interruption since his last eruption
Was disguised by sheer devil-may-care
But some charm and some skill and manoeuvre
Had him rising to meet the occasion
And for once, they found bliss, but news of their tryst
Got to fleet street, and caused a sensation
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me I'm glad I'm alive
And the press was baying for blood now
They gave them a week at the most
We were all glad to see it reach weeks two and three
But the fourth week, the whole thing was toast
And she dragged her tail back to New Zealand
With threats of high court and revenge
Meanwhile his eye did stray to the ample bustier
Of a novelty dancer from penge
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me I'm glad I'm alive

Thompson, Richard Let It Blow Comments
Great song, great melody, brilliant voice and guitar. Love it
Hmmm, as a man I suppose I ought to be frightened by the Bananas Flambe' video segment, but instead I get the "warm fuzzies" from the Kiwi fruit of my desire.....
Isn't this a bit pornographic for You Tube - just saying?
Finally! I've been trying to remember this song for years and now I've found it! All I could remember some lyric about a volcano.
Wow! I never thought I'd see a kiwi and a banana having intimate relations... Especially in a Richard Thompson video!
2 people have nothing to spout but hot air.
Excellent! First time I've seen this. Mr. Kaiser did well. Who was the hand model? Hmmmm.... Were any fruits or veggies harmed during filming?
Fruity little number that is moist excellent.
Love the conjugal nest bit :D
Absolutely superb!
It looks like RT's yard, which can also be seen in the documentary "A Solitary Life".
Yeah, I thought it looked familiar!
Very cute. Viva RT and HK! Was this filmed in HK or RT's back yard?
Funny little video.
