Lyrics:You And The Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful

by XTC

Album version:

And every morning before I'm awake I walk around the world To make sure she's alright And every evening, 'fore I bolt the door I give the stars a stir To make sure they will spin all night For I see people who will scratch And spit and kick and fight And I see nations war about wether Right is left and wether wrong is right And I know storms inside your head Can amplify the plight But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful And every Troy with wooden horse I take to peaceful waters But can't make him drown And every Bastille that gets storm troopered Hail to the chief comes raining raining Raining down And I've seen people conduct lightning Down to a summer's day And I see nations playfully hurl Snowballs packed with stones and clay And I know rain inside your head Can seriously put a stop to play But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful So let it rain! And we see flying saucers Flying cups and flying plates And as we trip down lovers lane We sometimes bump into the gate And I know thunder in your head Can still reverberate But no matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather You and the clouds will still be beautiful No matter what the weather So let it rain Just let it rain!

Demo version:

And every morning before I'm awake I walk around the world To make sure she's alright And every evening I put the cat out And I stir the sky To make sure it will spin all night For I see people who will scratch and spit and kick and fight And I see nations war about whether right is left And whether wrong is right And I know storms inside your head can amplify the blight But no matter what the weather, You and the clouds will still be beautiful (x2)

And every Troy with a wooden horse I take to peaceful waters but can't make him drown And every Bastille that gets stormtroopered, "Hail to the Chief" comes raining, raining, raining, raining down I've seen people conduct lightning down to a summer's day And I see nations playfully hurl snowballs Packed with stone and clay And I know rain inside your head can seriously put a stop to play But no matter what the weather, You and the clouds will still be beautiful (x2) So let it rain We see flying saucers, flying cups, and flying plates And as we trip down lover's lane We sometimes bump into the gate And I know thunder in your head can still reverberate But no matter what the weather, You and the clouds will still be beautiful (repeat to end) So let it rain We saw flying saucers, flying cups and flying plates And as we tripped down lover's lane we sometimes bump into the gate And all that thunder in your head could still reverberate But no matter what the weather You And The Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful But no matter what the weather You And The Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful
