about

Ah, Wellington weather. One does get used to it - just as one, sadly, might get a little too used to life itself.

lyrics

A sinew of a heaven blue
Peeked out behind a hairline crack
In nimbostratic fairy floss
Of dark despair and dungeon black
The four winds tossed all souls about
Like some great mystic sport
'Another partly cloudy day
In Wellington' I thought

The winter rain fell upward
Blessing undersides of hats and beards
The sky-blue sky tore tiny rents
In clouds, that quickly disappeared
As trampolines flew soaring
Like the butterflies that fluttered
'Another partly cloudy day
In Wellington' I muttered

'Not brilliant' said the weather girl
Each evening, 'But you'll cope -
Abandon your umbrellas, friends
But don't abandon hope'

Another slip of hillside soil
Another slip on roadside tile
Another day, another cent
Another inch, another mile
Another working unemployed
Another living dead
'Another partly cloudy day
In Wellington' I said.
