CLEAR DAY

Clear Day by Dark Company, from the album Can of Worms.

CLEAR DAY
Look at the strawberry sun
At the earth that melts and runs
At the leaden tide that turns inside
The shells on the beach are from guns
You can ride a plane burning the sky
You can answer “Why not?” with a “Why?”
And gaze at the haze of the hothouse days
Wonder at the birds that can’t fly

Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a
Waiting for a
Waiting for a clear day

See the sea it’s an oily disease
Sick water for the beaches and trees
The morning mist is a chemical kiss
But man does just as he please
See the moon its face is so sad
It cries for the chances we’ve had
The time is gone life’s a ticking bomb
Eden’s apples all turned out real bad

Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a
Waiting for a
Waiting for a clear day

There are better days money won’t buy
They say the price of peace is too high
They got nothing to lose except a fine excuse
Acid are the tears the rain cries
There are better ways to use up the time
Evolution’s one hell of a climb
Go back to the swamp if that’s what you want
You’ll wait a long time for a sign

Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a clear day
Waiting for a
Waiting for a
Waiting for a clear day

Fun Facts:

  • Clear Day was one of the first new sets of lyrics that Pete wrote during the earliest days of Dark Company.
  • This song nearly made it onto the Signmaker album, but that early version of the song was never actually finished due to complications of personnel and for technical reasons.
  • When George wrote the music for this, he scored out a load of flute and sax parts for Sammi and Rowena respectively, and laid down a load of synth parts using the Wasp..
  • Pete was in a particularly grumpy mood when he recorded his vocal for this, but somehow did a decent job in the end.
  • The key is Am and the two guitars and bass play individual notes to make up triads that are the chords of the song.
