Talk About The Weather (1985)
Lyrics:

well you keep coming up to me
you keep saying that it's up to me
you ain't nothing but a true embrace
you ain't nothing but a hidden face
and you're looking fair enough to me
you just see what you want to see
i want to know if you really care
i want to take you way down there
and stand in the rain and get you wet
you say you love me but not quite yet
i want to go out there to an open space
those tears to cry and show your face
oh i'm so soaked to the skin
yeah i'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

saturation is a point
there's nothing left you know
nowhere left for me to hide
nothing left but still alive
to face it all and here today
there's nothing left in you and me
and i can't show you this inside
if all you want to do is hide
i want to take you out and get you wet
you say you love me but not quite yet
i want to go out there to a sheltered place
those tears to cry and show your face
oh i'm so soaked to the skin
yeah i'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

sheltered from tomorrow
as though it may never come
you hide behind a wall of stone
and then you feel you're not alone
so face it all it's here today
you love me in your sheltered way
and i can't hold you in my hands
and talk about those hidden charms
i want to take them...
you want to talk about the weather
oh i'm so soaked to the skin
yeah i'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

One of England's more subtly original goth rock groups, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were initially branded as worshipful Joy Division acolytes, but came up with enough distinct variations to break free of their main influence. Their foundation always remained icy, droning post-punk, replete with sludgy, murky guitars and mumbled Ian Curtis-style vocals. However, as the Lorries evolved, they gradually sprinkled in elements of industrial dance, early rave music, and spaghetti Western soundtracks, as well as liberal doses of inventive, acid-tinged guitar work. Taking their name from a British tongue twister, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry was formed in Leeds in late 1981 by guitarist/songwriter Chris Reed and vocalist Mark Sweeney
