Weathercade
The Creatures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weatherman is calling... calling... calling
The weatherman's informing of a bright new day
There's no more gloomy weather
Forget that umbrella
No more diseases sneezing at this century
The dalek drones are drowning
We're flying, we're climbing
Cars sit corroding
As we soar away
Waltzers on the rooftops
Are spinning with side-hops
Ugly concrete towers are now bright arcades
Weathercade
These shoes have done some walking
Hear them talking
These shoes will last forever
They're made that way
The weatherman is calling... calling... calling
The weatherman's informing of a bright new day
Weathercade




Calling... calling... calling
Weathercade

25 January 2019. Ha! This coupled never failed to create mysterious and dream-like music atmospheres. Love and admiration from Sicily.

Siouxsie reina mía 😍😍😍 hermosa, carismática y terriblemente talentosa, que mujer!

@tequilakaren

@gregorypatrick2844

The best example EVER of voice and percussion only.

One of the many reasons why I love The Creatures even more than I do the Banshees. Not perhaps most peoples idea of minimalism but I would argue that that (admittedly totally unnecessary!) categorisation of much of their music is no less appropriate than any other! I keep hearing that there are loads of great new bands out there. Have to say I've yet to hear any of them and I'm bloody positive none of them sound like The Creatures but then who ever did?

@marianamour
