Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well, it's the same room, but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Well, there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantelpiece
Well, do I lie like a
lounge-room lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, you always
take the weather
You take the weather, the weather with you
(Everywhere you go)
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather
Everywhere you go, always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go, you always take the weather
Take the weather, the weather with you

Songfacts®:
When questioned about the existence of 57 Mount Pleasant Street, Crowded House lead singer Neil Finn responded: "There's actually lots of them. My sister used to live in Mount Pleasant Road in Auckland, but it wasn't Number 57. The number she was at didn't sound very musical." >>

Dingo - London, United KingdomNeil Finn told the story of the song, which he wrote with his brother/bandmate Tim Finn, to Performing Musician: "Tim had the first line. We started doing the strum that you hear at the beginning of the song, I came up with the little guitar figure, and the rest of the song fell from there. We were trying to imagine a time and a place, and the line 'Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather' helped us get into some atmosphere of somebody troubled who is always on their own in a room. We were trying to find lines that described the scene, like the 'small boat made of china', and that feeling of ennui or languishing that permeates the song. Ultimately, the theme of the song is, of course, that you are creating your own weather, you are making your own environment, always."
Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At Fifty Seven Mount Pleasant Street
Well it's the same room,
but everything's different
You can fight the sleep, but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather, the weather with you
Well, do I lie like a loungeroom lizard
Or do I sing like a bird released?
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather,
take the weather, the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather with you
Everywhere you go,
always take the weather,
take the weather, the weather with you
