Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a hoolie brewing fierce out in the east

Growling like a lion just released

When it starts to howl and whistle it'll bend the birch and thistle

Yeah that hoolie's hungry for a feast





[CHORUS]

There's a hoolie coming down the brae

Blowin' yesterday and hope away

It don't knock it don't beg pardon, it'll tear through every garden

You can fight it but it won't obey





[Verse 2]

There's a hoolie brooding deep behind the skies

With a whisper that'll turn to battle cries

Rushing down the valley lanes, rattling all the window panes

You can see the madness in the hoolies eyes





[Pre-chorus]

Here comes the hoolie, gonna shake my soul

Here comes the hoolie, out of my control

Here comes the hoolie, hear the thunder roll

Blowing every fear away





[CHORUS]

There's a hoolie coming down the brae

Tossing bins and boots astray

It don't knock it don't beg pardon, it'll rip through every garden

You can fight it but it won't obey



Instrumental



[Bridge]

Might be fate or just the wind

Could be time to shed my skin

Storms like this don't come to play

They come to sweep the past away





[Pre-chorus]

Here comes the hoolie, gonna shake my soul

Here comes the hoolie, out of my control

Here comes the hoolie, hear the thunder roll

Blowing every fear away



[CHORUS x2]



There's a hoolie coming down the brae

Blowin' yesterday and hope away

It don't knock it don't beg pardon, it'll tear through every garden

You can fight it but it won't obey



There's a hoolie coming down the brae

There's a hoolie gonna rock our summers day

Gonna batten down the hatches and latch the doors with matches

It'll dance with the trees and fly away
