Ballet for a Rainy Day Lyrics


Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
Pineapple wet heads
Watch new hairdos crumble
As scenery sunlight shifts awayBallet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle playApples and cherries
Are varnished in water
Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
I push my paintbrush
To conjure a new world
While this one is slowly washed awayBallet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending greyWhen it rains it rains
All the colors in my paintbox
When it rains it rains
Tickets for the front row seats

Up on the rooftopsOrange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, dropped in diamond disarrayBallet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
Behind the curtain silver falling
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey

XTC were an influential rock band (starting out as a post-punk outfit but eventually developing into a sound that was a mix of new wave and alternative/college rock) which formed Swindon, England in 1972. For most of their career, the band consisted of Andy Partridge (vocals, guitar), Colin Moulding (vocals, bass) and Dave Gregory (guitar, keyboards). Gregory replaced founding keyboardist Barry Andrews in 1979 and left himself in 1999.
