Airy, optimistic, relaxed...these are not adjectives you might normally associate with songs by The Boo-Hooray Theory, but Chill Wind is an exception, conjuring up the sort of summer early-morning where seagulls wheel silently among the high buildings of almost-deserted Cardiff streets and for one amnesiac it’s still 1982.

lyrics

8. Chill Wind

Cold grey morning, can't stand straight.
New day dawning: it's early, it's so late.

Been nice talking, so much to say.
Can't stop yawning, see you later in the day.

Gonna be another scorcher,
I can feel it in my bones.

Chill wind blows nothing but good,
it sends the world through your hands.
You fly like a leaf in the woods,
and no-one knows where you land,
no-one knows where you land.
It's an ancient proverb
on an ancient factory wall.

Mid-day sunshine, whole world's here.
Your arm waving – you were seventeen that year.

Keep my memories in the corner,
till the day that I wake up.

Chill wind blows nothing but good, etc.
It's on every billboard, it's the next big thing,
it's a download from the past.

Years go by, and then one morning,
a message tied to a balloon:

Chill wind blows nothing but good, etc.
You could live for ever, if the day was cold,
if you let the past take hold.
