Verse 1:

                      
 H        5        N         1
                    
 Killed a wild swan 
                      
 It was a kind of omen
                        
 Of everything to come 
                          
 I can't believe it's happening 
                                   
 And that it's happening now
                           
I can't believe it's happening 
                          
It's coming true somehow 

Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)

On Canvey Island, 1953 
Many lives were lost 
With the records of a football team 
I can't believe it's happening 
And that it's happening now 
I can't believe it's happening 
It's coming true somehow 

Chorus:

                             
Don't you think it's strange, you know 
                             
The way it all works out 
                                                                       
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts, soooooooo

Verse 3: (same as Verse 1)

Sometimes it's hard to tell 
If it's going well 
You know the odds against it
Were so phenomenal 
I can't believe it's happening 
And that it's happening now 
I can't believe it's happening 
It's coming true somehow 
 
Chorus: (same)

Don't you think it's strange, you know 
The way it all works out 
Brace yourself for storms and Summer droughts 

Don't you think it's strange, you know 
The way it all works out 
You start with everything then end without

       
Oh! 
        
Oh, oh! 
      
Ohhh...(etc.) 


Oh it's happening now 

Oh it's happening now 

Oh...
