Lyrics

Ballet for a Rainy Day - XTC
[00:00] Orange and lemon
[00:02] Raincoats roll and tumble
[00:06] Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
[00:12] Pineapple wet heads
[00:15] Watch new hairdos crumble
[00:18] As scenery sunlight shifts away
[00:25] Ballet for a rainy day
[00:29] Silent film of melting miracle play
[00:46] Apples and cherries
[00:49] Are varnished in water
[00:52] Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
[00:59] I push my paintbrush
[01:01] To conjure a new world
[01:03.50] While this one is slowly washed away
[01:11] Ballet for a rainy day
[01:15] Silent film of melting miracle play
[01:21] Dancing out there through my window
[01:25] To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
[01:35] When it rains it rains
[01:37.50] All the colors in my paintbox
[01:48] When it rains it rains
[01:49] Tickets for the front row seats
[01:53] Up on the rooftops
[02:02] Orange and lemon
[02:04.50] Raincoats roll and tumble( Apples and cherries)
[02:07] Together, dropped in diamond disarray
[02:14] Ballet for a rainy day
[02:19] Silent film of melting miracle play
[02:24] Dancing out there through my window
[02:29] Behind the curtain silver falling
[02:32] Ballet for a rainy day
[03:37] Silent film of melting miracle play
[02:43] Dancing out there through my window
[02:47] To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
