lyrics

Breakfast at 11, it’s a cop-out of a morning
I’ll be sat here till lunchtime reading the paper
And all the news is bad news, but there are many places
That don’t get a mention in these pages

Well, my town did. It was a cop-out of a robbery
The cash had been removed so they just made off with the safe
And turning to the back page it’s a cop-out of a weather forecast
They’re just hedging their bets again
‘Cause you just never know when they say

Sunny spells and scattered showers
Its only sunny spells and scattered showers
And I know everything is not ok
But there’s a beautiful sky today
And the downpour brings the rainbow

Now I wouldn’t envy the ones on the jury
When God faced our judgement for all that He’s made
And the crowds of the scoffers say He’s copped out of His duty
To free us from the Romans, to free us from pain

Well, free will had to be, but it’s a cop-out of an answer
So we tortured our maker, ‘cause it’s a very strange world
It’s chockerblock with sorrows, yet it’s brimming with wonders
And it’s a cop-out of a prophecy
But you can never be wrong if you say

Sunny spells and scattered showers
Its only sunny spells and scattered showers
And I know everything is not ok
But there’s a beautiful sky today
And the downpour brings the rainbow

So when you feel you’ve got nowhere to run to
A lone tree holds off the rain but lures the lightning to strike you
And you could swear the storm’s just howling out of spite
‘Cause the weatherman he promised you no hurricanes tonight

It’s only sunny spells and scattered showers
Its only sunny spells and scattered showers
And I know everything is not ok
But there’s a beautiful sky today
And the downpour brings the rainbow

Sunny spells and heavy showers
Its only sunny spells and scattered thundery downpours
And everything is not ok
But there’s a beautiful sky today
And the downpour brings the rainbow
Yeah the downpour makes our roots grow
Yeah the downpour brings the rainbow
And the rainbow takes my breath away
