Lyrics
Most people like to moan about the weather As if somehow it’s personal For many people weather brings them together It’s a conversation starter for sure
Pretty cold today, but some signs of spring? What about the weekend, what d’you think it will bring Got the heating on so the pipes don’t freeze Sitting wrapped up and trying not to sneeze
In the summer it doesn’t get much better Pretty hot for the time of year? Another record since the record’s began? Climate change is the thing that we fear
And still we gripe and still we moan So we don’t have to feel that we’re on our own The little things that are set to try us Standing in the rain waiting for the bus
People like to moan about the weather.

We do love the weather chitchatting. This is a great especially the little speaking bit. Love it.
This was very entertaining as I imagine people speaking about the weather in front of me. It is certainly one of the least controversial things you can discuss because there are no guarantees either party is right or wrong about it. Common weather brings us together. :)
Yes. Most common topic for small talk is weather. Often times with a complaint or lament.
I see two songs from you in this skirmish. That’s incredible. Keep the good music flowing.
Haha this is an excellent observation about default topics of small talk! The weather is definitely a favorite where I'm from, too.
So true! It’s a bit cold and gray here! I loved the line so we don’t have to feel we are on our own.
