Hello Cloud.
Hello you great big rainy bastard
I swear you are the last thing that I need
Thundercloud, I see you coming at me fast
You’re gonna rain down some disaster over me
Been frightened by the lightning
Got drenched in freezing rain
Tornado snapped my kite string
And blew it far away
But storms are just a fever
A fever that will break
This too will pass, believe it
Hold on for goodness sake
And when disaster rains down
We’ll smile and shout whatever
Clasp our hands together, hold the line
And when the darkness breaks out
We’ll march on through the weather
And watch it all get better
Cos pain gives way to pleasure every time
Hello cloud.
Come on, show me what you’re made of
Don’t pretend that you’re afraid of little me
Thundercloud.
I’ve got power, I’ve got purpose
I’ve got fire in my furnace and I’m free
I’m stronger than a mountain
I’m deeper than the sea
I’m Aphrodite’s fountain
I’m Hera’s apple tree
I’m facing down Poseidon
I’m toe to toe with Zeus
So show me that horizon
Step back and turn me loose
CHORUS
So give me hands to cling to
Let me hear your voice
And something loud to sing to
We’ll drown out all the noise
The night is mostly harmless
Just silhouettes and scorn
So dance me through the darkness
We’ll pirouette ’til dawn
God damn is this album a good time! The pace of the music is upbeat, the rapid-fire lyrics are tongue-tie-twisted, like the themes of Go Back Home. Every song is a gem - check out many of their videos online. Give this, and the Kiss the Misfits EP, and Attention Seeker a spot in your rotation and you might find they'll never leave. Love these darlings across the Pond! chicagogrooves
