Stormy by the Classic IV


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Sua_QTDs0

You were the sunshine, baby
Whenever you smiled
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that ole rain's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Yesterday's love
Was like a warm summer breeze
But like the weather ya changed

Now things are dreary, baby
And it's windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' your name

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Bring back that sunny day

Bring back that sunny day

Oh Stormy, oh Stormy
Oh Stormy, oh Stormy

1. "Let it Rain" - Clapton n/t

[flvegan]

2. "Rain" by The Cult

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean
Like a desert sun that burns my skin
I've been waiting for her for so long
Open the sky and let her come down
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean
Like a desert sun that burns my skin
I've been waiting for her for so long
Open the sky and let her come down
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
Here she comes again
Here comes the rain
Oh, rain
Rain
Rain
Oh, here comes the rain
I love the rain
Well, I love the rain
Here she comes again
I love the rain
Rain
Rain

3. Crowded House "Weather With You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIb6I8gtgtw

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At 57 Mount Pleasant Street
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream

Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky

There's a small boat made of china
Going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released

Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go you always take the weather
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go you always take the weather,
Take the weather, the weather with you

[grannylib]

7. You beat me to it...I love Crowded House. Neil Finn is an underrated

genius.
I love this too, but it doesn't have weather in it...

4. Stormy ........ Billie holiday

Dont know why theres no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I aint together,
Keeps rainin all the time

Life is bare, gloom and misry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just cant get my poorself together,
Im weary all the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin chair will get me.

All I do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more.
Cant go on, evry thing I had is gone
Stormy weather

Since my man and I aint together,
Keeps rainin all the time

[Blue_In_AK]

What a tear-jerker.

"Rainy Day" by Guster

Best thing I could find was a Life as a House montage.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnbUAJOO1HE

I will dig a hole
Save my pennies for a rainy day
I will dig a hole
Savin pennies for a rainy day
I'm not scared
I will build a wall
Sensing trouble from a mile away
I will build a wall
Saw it comin from a mile away
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try when your inside's out
I don't even try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even try
I will just play dumb
I won't hear a single word that's said
I will bite my tongue
Never sing another song again
I'm not scared
I'm not scared
Try wearing my insides out
I don't even try, I know I have seen the best I'll have
I don't even try
Never been one to take my chances
I don't even try
Clouds are comin
Air get's heavy
Looks like trouble on a rainy day
Sun starts sinking
Can't see my shadow
Looks like trouble on a rainy day
Holes uncovered
Walls will crumble
All spells trouble on a rainy day

[carlyhippy]

6. Here Comes The Sun-Beatles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUS49XSN6Zs

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

[Gormy Cuss]

8. I Can See Clearly Now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzGV9Bl6CGg&feature=related

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

It's gona be a bright (bright) bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

10. "The Weather" by 10,000 Maniacs

[av8rdave]

36. I love that song!

[dysfunctional press]

110. actually the song is "like the weather"...the whole 'in my tribe' album is phenomenal.

a few friends and i each had a song that we identified with, and kind of explained something about us individually, or who we were...

my boozy philosophical friend was described best by 'don't talk':

Don't talk, i will listen.
Don't talk, you keep your distance
For i'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies,
So take you poison silently.
Let me be. let me close my eyes.

Don't talk, i'll believe it.
Don't talk, listen to me instead,
I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard
The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.

Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care
But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air,
Tossing back more than your share...

'like the weather' belonged to his massively manic-depressive wife:

The color of the sky as far as i can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if i might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so i breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where i never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as i cry,

"what a cold and rainy day. where on earth is the sun hid away."

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime.
Now i'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day
While here i lie
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if i might cry,

'a cmpfire song' seemed to be all about our mba-waving money-lovin' buddy:

A lie to say, "o my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig.
500 men with axes and they all dig for me."
A lie to say, "o my river where many fish do swim,
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in."
Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
No devil or redeemer will cheat him.
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.

A lie to say, "o my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist."
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed.
A lie to say, "o my garden is growing taller by the day."
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away.
Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
No devil or redeemer can cheat him.
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.
Six deep in the grave.

Something is out of reach
Something he wanted
Something is out of reach
He's being taunted
Something is out of reach
That he can' beg or steal nor can he buy

and mine- thanks to my ever-loving father, was 'what's the matter here?':

That young boy without a name i'd know his face.
In this city the kid's my favorite.
I've seen him. i see him every day.
Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father,
The kid half naked and said to myself "o, what's the matter here?"
I'm tired of the excuses everbody uses, he's their kid i stay out of it,
But who gave you the right to do this?

We live on morgan street;
Just ten feet between and his mother, i never see her,
But her screams and cussing, i hear them every day.
Threats like: "if you don't mind i will beat on your behind,"
"slap you, slap you silly."
Made me say, "o, what's the matter here?"
I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses, he's your kid, do as you see fit,
But get this through that i don't approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood.

"if you don't sit on this chair straight
I'll take this belt from around my waist and don't think that i won't use it!"

Answer me and take your time,
What could be the awful crime he could do at such young an age?
If i'm the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what i see and what i hear.
All these cold and rude things that you do i suppose you do because he belongs to you
And instead of love, the feel of warmth you've given him these cuts and sores won't heal with time or age.

I want to say "what's the matter here?"
But i don't dare say.


good times...

11. The Wind and Rain

Jerry Garcia (I like Gillian Welch's version better but couldn't find it :P )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYe_JMvh8oU

There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream
Oh the wind and rain
The one behind pushed the other one in
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring
Oh the wind and rain
Didn't give the oldest one anything
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

They pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated down
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

Floated 'till she came to a miller's pond
Oh the wind and rain
Mama oh father there swims a swan (note 1)
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

The miller pushed her out with a fishing hook (note 2)
Oh the wind and rain
Drew that fair maid from the brook (note 3)
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

He left her on the banks to dry
Cryin' oh the wind and rain
And a fiddlin' fool come passing by
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

Out of the woods came a fidder fair
Oh the wind and rain
Took thirty strands of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Oh the wind and rain
He made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Oh the wind and rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

And he made a little fiddle of her breast bone
Oh the wind and rain
The sound could melt a heart of stone
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain

And the only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the wind and rain
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain

14. Dee Clark, "Raindrops"

from my youth ages ago.

<sound of thunder>

The raindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like rai-aindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's go-o-o-ne
I don't know where she's gone

There must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead
Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

<instrumental interlude>

Oh, there must be a cloud in my hea-ea-ea-ead
Rain keeps falling from my eye-eyes
Oh no they can't be teardrops
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be rai-aindrops, so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops
Falling from my eye-eyes
Falling from my eyes

It keeps on fallin'
<sound of thunder>
Fallin' from my eyes
<shrieking>

FADE

It keeps on fallin' from my eyes



<Shrieking>? I don't remember it that way. :rofl:

16. Bad Weather by Poco

In evry day that passes us by
I cant help the feelin that you and i
We wont get to see another day together.
Looks like bad weather.

I can see it all there in your eyes
And it comes to me as no surprise
That you dont need me here no more.
Your feeling tells the score.

Words, they are getting
Hard for me to find.
You take me by my hand
And youre leading me blind.

In evry day that passes us by
I cant help the feelin that you and i
We wont get to see another day together.
Looks like bad weather.

Yes it does,
And I believe its gonna rain.

26. Couldn't Stand The Weather - Stevie Ray Vaughan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSfB49EFk3Q&feature=related

Runnin' through this business of life
Raisin' sand if I'm needed to.
Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right.
Then daddy's hand helps to see me through.
Sweet as sugar, love won't wash away.
Rain or shine, it's always here to stay.
All these years you and I've spent together.
All this, we just couldn't stand the weather.

Like a train that stops at every station,
We all deal with trials and tribulations.
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years.
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears.
Changes come before we can grow.
Learn to see them before we're too old.
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy.
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm.

Well, dark clouds are rollin' in
Man, I'm standin' out in the rain

Well, dark clouds are rollin' in
Man, I'm standin' out in the rain

Yeah, flood water keep a rollin'
Man, it's about to drive poor me insane

Well, I'm leavin' you baby

Well, I'm leavin' you baby

Well, back home I know floods and tornadoes
Baby, the sun shines on me every day...

119. I have never been able to like that song. I was pregnant with my first

child and had really bad morning sickness during the height of it's popularity. As a result of the almost endless playtime it received that summer, I associate that song with feeling sick to my stomach amd puking. For years afterwards just the intro to that song would make my stomach roll and I don't like to listen to it to this day.

And they got nothin else to think of
And they're letting me go home

Well I'm lookin at the snowflakes
And they all look the same
And the clouds are goin by me
They're playin some kind of game
Well you know there's a snowstorm
When the t.v. has gone out
And they got nothin else to think of
And they're letting me go home

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.

Love, reign oer me.
Love, reign oer me, rain on me.

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

Love reign oer me.

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I cant sleep and I lay and I think
Oh god, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

See, I can't stand the rain on my window
It's bringing back sweet memories
Well, the rain on my window
'Cause my baby ain't here with me
Hey, hey, window pane, do you remember
Well, just how sweet our love used to be
Oh, well, when we were together, yea
Everything was just so grand
Well, now that we'e parted
I just wanna say
That I can't, I just can't stand
Can't stand the rain against my window
Tell you why, it's bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain against my window
All right, 'cause she ain't here with me
Well, let me tell you, oh, that window
When my baby's there we used to play
Well, I know, you've got some sweet, sweet, sweet memories
But my window, it's got nothing to say
I can't stand the rain against my window
It's bringing back sweet memories
Well, I can't stand the rain against my window
Tell you why, you know, 'cause my baby ain't here with me
Tell you again, oh, when we were together
Everything was just so grand
But now that we have parted
There's just one thing and you know what it is
I can't stand, I just can't stand
Can't stand the rain against my window
Well, it's bringing back sweet memories
Hey, window pane, can you remember
Just how sweet it used to be
Hey, get off my window
Don't you keep hanging there on my window
Oh, oh, yea, yea, well, there's just one thing
And you know what it is, yea
You know I can't stand
Don't you make me, don't you make me
Don't you make me think you're sweet
And you're my friend
Get off my window pane

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3eZymp8DU

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound,
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by,
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?

What's happened
Down here
Is the wind's
Have changed
Clouds rolled
In from the north
And it started to rain
It rained real hard
And it rained
For a real long time
Six feet of water
In the streets
Of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people
Got lost in the flood
Some people
Got away all right
The river had busted
Through clear
Down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water
In the streets
Of Evangeline

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana

They're tryin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away

President came down
In his big airplane
With his little fat man
With a notepad
In his hand
President say
'Little fat man
Isn't it a shame?
What the river has done
To this poor
Farmer's land

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away
They's tryin'
To wash us away
They're tryin'
To wash us away

60. Like a Hurricane-Neil Young

One of my favorites!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S6dfuIzEKM

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know thats who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream.
You could have been anyone to me.
Before that moment you touched my lips
That perfect feeling when time just slips
Away between us on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
Theres calm in your eye.
And Im gettin blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but Im getting blown away.

120. Another from that sweet, sweet LP--White Bird

White Bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow
Cross the long black road
To the darkened skies
In its rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Unknown.

White bird must fly
Or she will die

White bird
Dreams of the aspen tree
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old.

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die

The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds Float by
And The Earth Turns slow
And the Young Birds Eyes
Do always Glow
And She must fly
She must fly
She must fly

White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly

Blue Jay Way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ32e5vuWCc

( Harrison )

There's a fog up on L.A.,
And my friends have lost their way!
We'll be over soon they said,
Now they've lost themselves instead.

Please, don't be long,
Please, don't you be very long,
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep.

Well it only goes to show,
And I told them where to go.
Ask a p'liceman on the street,
There's so many there to meet.

Please, don't be long,


Please, don't you be very long,
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep.

Now it's past my bed I know,
And I'd really like to go,
Soon will be the break of day,
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way.

Please, don't be long,
Please, don't you be very long,
Please, don't be long
Or I may be asleep.
Please, don't be long,
Please, don't you be very long,
...

Don't be long,
Don't be long,
Don't be long

80. Led Zeppelin: The Rain Song

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...It's just a little rain...

83. Ridin' The Storm Out - REO Speedwagon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qO6fZ5V0Po&feature=related

Ridin the storm out, waitin for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the rocky mountain winter.
My wine bottles low, watching for the snow
Ive been thinking lately of what Im missing in the city.

And Im not missing a thing
Watchin the full moon crossing the range
Ridin the storm out
Ridin the storm out.

My ladys beside me, shes there to guide me.
She says that alone weve finally found home.
The wind outside is frightening,
But its kinder than the lightning life in the city.
Its a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

89. RAIN ON THE ROOF (John Sebastian) The Lovin' Spoonful

You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Dryin' while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waitin' out the sun


You and me were gabbin' away
Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you
'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder brought us to



You and me underneath the roof of tin
Pretty comfy feelin' how the rain ain't leakin' in
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour
'Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some more

92. Jethro Tull - Aqualung

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqZmtq5LhFo

Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.


peace~

99. I wish it would rain or Let it rain by the Temptations

God you can hear the pain in Ruffins voice on that song
Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
My girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange.
But I wish it would rain. (How I wish that it would rain)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen.
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah.
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.
I just wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, let it rain.
Rain, rain, rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby. Let it rain.
(Let it rain) Oh yeah, let it rain.



Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for rain.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know.
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain. (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooo, baby.

Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
Oh, yeah, yeah listen.
I'm a man and I got my pride.
Give me rain or I'm gonna stay inside.
Let it rain.

(Let it rain)
(Let it (rain) (rain) (rain) rain, rain)

Wednesday's worse, and Thursday's also sad

Yes the eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Eagle flies on Friday, and Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, then I kneel down and pray

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy, my heart's in misery
Crazy about my baby, yes, send her back to me

117. 10000 Maniacs - Like the weather

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime.
Now I'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day
while here I lie
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward.
For it is such a long time since my better days.
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away.

The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

Lonely is the night
Now that darkness has fallin'
Nothing seems right
And the world is callin'

Everybody's looking back
As the wind comes whispering by
The're waitin' for the answers then
Like the time they heard a cry

Hang on
Don't ever go
Life's here
I know

Wind called on me
How it took me by surprise
Cause night come upon me
Creeping through the distant skies

Wind tell me what you can
'Bout the life - What I came from
A breeze blew and whispered then
In a voice rich as the sun

Hang on
Don't ever go
Life's here
I know

peace~

126. July Morning-Uriah Heep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhgW-u7A98g

This band supposedly was the inspiration for Spinal Tap. Saw them perform live in 74, love the keyboard intro, it gives me an musical image of the brightening summer morning sun rising above the horizon.

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
Ill be looking for you
La la la la

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasnt a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

129. Shadows in the Rain - The Police

I woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can

He claims I suffer from delusion
But I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be an optical illusion
So how can you explain
Shadows in the rain

And if you see us on the corner
We're just dancing in the rain
I tell my friends there when I see them
Outside my window pane
Shadows in the rain

[Rob H.]

130. "Valley Winter Song" - Fountains of Wayne

Hey, Sweet Annie
Don't take it so bad
You know the summer's coming soon
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon

Your daddy told you
When you were a girl
The kind of things that come to those who wait
So give it a rest girl
Take a deep breath girl
And meet me at the Bay State tonight

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What could I do
I wrote a valley winter song
To play for you

And late December
Can drag a man down
You feel it deep in your gut
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around
In a dark house with the windows painted shut

Remember New York
Staring outside
As reckless winter made its way
From Staten Island to the Upper West Side
Whiting out our streets along the way

And the snow is coming down
On our New England town
And it's been falling all day long
What else is new
What can I do
But sing this valley winter song
I wrote for you

[Dulcinea]
