Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will you take me across the channel?
London Bridge is falling down
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown
[Verse 2]
And he's the rain that they predicted
It's the forecast every time
The rose has died because you picked it
I believe that brandy's mine
[Verse 3]
And all over the world
Strangers talk only about the weather
All over the world, it's the same
It's the same, it's the same
[Verse 4]
The world is getting flatter
The sky is falling all around
And nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
[Verse 5]
And a love like ours, my dear
Is best measured when it's dark
And I never buy umbrellas
For there's always one around
[Verse 6]
And all over the world
Strangers talk only about the weather
All over the world, it's the same
It's the same, it's the same
[Verse 7]
And you know that it's beginning
And you know that is the end
When once again we are strangers
And the fog comes rollin' in
[Verse 8]
And all over the world
Strangers talk only about the weather
All over the world, it's the same
It's the same, it's the same
