[Verse 1]
H5N1 killed a wild swan
It was a kind of omen of everything to come

[Refrain]
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]
On Canvey Island, 1953
Many lives were lost with the records of a football team

[Refrain]
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, oh

[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's going well
You know the odds against it were so phenomenal

[Refrain]
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]
Well, 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 live without

[Outro]
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, it's happening now
Oh, it's happening now
Oh, oh
