It's late at night on a Saturday
hoping that sleep will come soon
can't seem to get ahold of Sunday
why'd I make a bet on the moon?
take my hand
bring me back
the whole damn plan
was drowned in a sack
don't you think
I know it's not a beautiful day today
but I love you anyway
when the rain is cold and sky is gray
and the sun's on holiday
morning's like lead on a Monday
awake in the late afternoon
don't remember a thing until Friday
till I start singin this tune
don't look down
gray rain cloud
can't stop you
from laughing out loud
don't you think
I know it's not a beautiful day today
I want to be there to say
It's not the way you kiss me
or the way your body feels at night
it's not the way you fix me
when I get myself into a fight
it's not the inspiration
it's not the way you dress
it's not the way you wear your hair, I must confess
It's the way you make me smile when the sun's on holiday
In songs that swing from giant and anthemic to distortion-caked and widescreen, Lightning Cult conjure galaxies of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2022
The latest from Sonny Smith's long-running San Francisco outfit is clever and very sweet and more than a little bit country. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 3, 2021
