No Blue Skies
Tears Under No Blue Skies: Emotions Unveiled in Lloyd Cole's Melody
Lyrics
You want to leave me baby be my guest
You want to end our relationship; go ahead.
All I'm gonna do is cry
I will express my sadness through tears.
And then I'm gonna find there's someone else
I'll move on and find someone else.
And tear the stars out of the sky
An intense emotional reaction, symbolized by tearing the stars from the sky.
Looking for something when there's nothing there to be found
Searching for something that doesn't exist.
Make it easy on yourself

Go out and find your body someone else

And tear the stars out of the sky
