In 2010 I took her in and said I'd love her till
The sky has lost her blue and the rivers all run still.
Followed her till she came in and put her hand in mine.
Then we lived in green fields but now it's just a shame.
Cities which once grew like weeds, now shipwrecks on the plain.
750 days since a drop of rain.
Then came November and my lover hid up rye.
Drank it in the swelter as she laughed as the red sun died.
She said she was gonna leave me and head out to the sea-side.
Catch a cloud and ride.
Never such a thing.
Politicians blamed each other.
The preachers swelled with pride.
The wealthy killed each other and the poor gave up a smile.
Cause 750 days without a drop of rain made everyone the same.
The sky has lost her blue and the rivers all run still.
Followed her till she came in and put her hand in mine.
Then we lived in green fields but now it's just a shame.
Cities which once grew like weeds, now shipwrecks on the plain.
750 days since a drop of rain.
Then came November and my lover hid up rye.
Drank it in the swelter as she laughed as the red sun died.
She said she was gonna leave me and head out to the sea-side.
Catch a cloud and ride.

Politicians blamed each other.
The preachers swelled with pride.
The wealthy killed each other and the poor gave up a smile.
Cause 750 days without a drop of rain made everyone the same.

Big Head Todd and The Monsters is a rock band formed by Todd Mohr, Brian Nevin, and Rob Squires in 1986 in Colorado. The band has released several albums since 1989, with their 1993 album Sister Sweetly going platinum in the United States. The band has developed a sizable live following, especially in the Mountain States of the United States.
well under-rated live band... A MUST SEE!!
see, that's why it's such a bummer I didn't even manage to see this band at least ONCE while I lived in colorado. the opportunities were of sheer abundance! i read their band's name everywhere there, it felt like they were playing on a weekly basis...but I thought they're just an uninteresting & talentfree local combo...and drove down to denver to see nation-wide, overpaid acts...oh, silly me.
I like this song. an instant 8.
For you silly "left" people...Mars has melting polar ice caps too...hmm....let's read what Newsweek magazine had to say about climate in 1975 shall we?

...And for all concerned it is a LIE to say there is a consensus in the scientific community on the FAKE global warming crisis.

It has always varied-night to day -winter to summer-ice age to global warming. Carbon dioxide feeds plants.Plants feed US
Dude, you must not step too close to the edge of your earth... the fall is into infinity (yes... look it up)
They should have named the band in such a way as to communicate that fact. Wait a minute...
Only easy on the reins can catch a cloud and ride.

Ah the classic "I know you are but what am I" argument!
Give us an example of "the left-wing wealthy" using fear and hate for the purpose of demagoguery.
Oh good grief, are you that blind? Probably not. Just a partisan ideologue.
Somehow you guys take guys like me... a hard working computer programmer that doesn't know the Koch brothers... doesn't know their politics... doesn't care about their politics... And you think I'm only a conservative because I'm one of their puppets.
I for one stand corrected, you are absolutely correct, there are no thought processes that lead one to professing to be a conservative.
Puke is actually a historic term referring to the pro-slavery faction that terrorized abolitionist families in Kansas Territory shortly before the Civil War, raping and murdering in order to support slavery in the new state of Kansas. The "pukes" were generally poor and did not own slaves themselves, but were whipped into a murderous frenzy by wealthy slave owners through their surrogates in the press. Read Thomas Frank's What's the Matter With Kansas.
These days it is the fossil fuel industry using right wing and "libertarian" think tanks to whip up fear and hate in order to protect their wealth and power. And while the modern pukes may not be killing anyone directly, their actions are leading humanity to disaster.
Right-wing hate and stupidity has been used by the wealthy and powerful to protect their wealth and power before. I think it is high time the modern-day "pukes" and their puppetmasters were called out and held to account.
"PUKE" is what I was my freshman year college, pledge, first semester, getting screamed at at the top of their lungs by 40 other grown men, me standing on ice cubes at 3 am on a Thursday morning, in my boxers. True story. I am sure it comes from the military traditions.
I love it... they make a accusation (with no examples). And then when you make the same accusation... they want specific examples.
A bit silly when George Soros and Ariana Huffington are out there for everybody to hear.

Don't you think you all sound a bit silly?
roger that, Bob...
Rock On boys...
