Theme - Songs with weather words

1. I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind
Cold as Ice - Foreigner

2. She ws the color of the Indian summer
And we shared the hours without number
Until one day when the sky turned dark
And the winds grew wild
?

3. Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
Get Off of My Cloud - Rolling Stones

4. If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
November Rain - Guns 'N Roses

5. So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler

6. All of a sudden that ole rain's fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
?

7. My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions (I originally thought this song was "Raunchy Like a Hurricane")

8. I'm sure you'll have some cosmic rationale
But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Pressure - Billy Joel

9. Listen to me, baby, you got to understand
You're old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around
?

10. I got the right tactics to turn you on, and girl I...
Wanna be the Papa...You can be the Mom....oh oh!
?

11. get the kids and bring a sweater
dry is good and wind is better
count the years, you always knew it
strike a match, go on and do it
Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin

12. The sun shines
And people forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget, forget they're hiding
Eminence Front - The Who

CRAP CRAP CRAP...I remembered that Billy Joel sang that song, but forgot which one it was! And "Storm Front" fit the damn category!

1. Cold as Ice -- Foreigner
2. Thunder Island -- Jay Ferguson
3. Get Off My Cloud -- Rolling Stones
4. November Rain -- Guns and Roses
5. Wind Beneath My Wings -- this is the Bette Midler version, because it used different words than the Gary Morris version (a muy better rendition, IMNSHO) -- his were "...while you were the one with all the strength. I want you to know I know the truth. I would be nothing without you."
6. Stormy -- Classics IV
7. Rock you Like a Hurricane -- Scorpions (Thank you, Guitar Hero)
8. Pressure -- Billy Joel

About The Weather - Magazine

The weather's variable - so are you
Changes, changes
But I can't do a thing about the weather
Do you have your ticket!
Can you foresee
Changes, changes

Another time when we might be together!
You have a broken window
Through which the rain pours in my ear
This weeks been all ears and edges
Its getting like a career

A chain of events
A change of heart
A chain of events
A change of heart
I will study your change of heart in depth

The weather's variable ...

Now youre leaning on a fountain
With the sunshine on your shoes
You dislike the climate but you like the place
I hope you learn to live with what you choose

A chain of events ...

I"m so changeable - its so frightening
