Strange Weather Marianne Faithfull

Will you take me across the channel
London Bridge is falling down
Strange, a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown

And he's the rain that they predicted
It's the forecast every time
The rose has died because you picked it
I believe that brandy's mine

[Chorus]
And all over the world
Strangers talk only about the weather
All over the world
It's the same, it's the same, it's the same

The word is getting flatter
The sky is falling all around
And nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town

And a love like ours, my dear
Is best measured when it's down
And I never buy umbrellas
For there's always one around
