Strange Weather

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
An' i believe that brandy's mine.

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.

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.

And you know that it's beginning,
And you know that it's the end
When once again we are strangers
And the fog comes rolling in.

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.

Dr. john:
You ready ? 2, 3, 4, 1.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces i can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All i hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things i used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

(instrumental)

I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams.

You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
When you behold your shattered schemes.
And gigolo and gigolette
Wake up to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams.

Here is where you'll always find me,
Always walking up and down,
But i left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town.

The joy that you find here, you borrow,
You cannot keep it long it seems.
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

The joy that you find here, you borrow,
You cannot keep it long it seems.
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.

Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, i try for all i'm worth,
But i still remain a stranger on this earth.

Some people gloom, other folk cry.
Me, i have to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth.

I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.
But no matter how i try,
My troubles always multiply.

Now i've been doing the best i can
Ever since life began.
Some day when i prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.

Now i've been living the best i can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come when i prove my worth
And i won't be no stranger,
No, i won't be a stranger
On this earth.

Love you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

Money you made me some very good friends.
Just like you make them, you're gonna break them in the end.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

I've had my share of love, life and money.
I lost it all three ways and i'm here to tell ya it sure ain't funny.
Me and my money parted, so did my love and i,
Life don't mean a thing, and i wish that i could die.

In life you make a whole lotta fools,
'cause you're always teaching something that they never teach in schools.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

Love, you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.
