Strange Weather Lyrics

Cover art for Strange Weather lyrics by Tom Waits

I love the Emily Haines/Metric cover of this song. Coupled with her voice and the lyrics with their beautiful simplicity this song truly is fantastic.

Interpretation:

For me this song is about deteriorating culture. "And the world is getting flatter and the sky is falling all around" I take this as the rise of bigotry and sensationalism found in deteriorating cultures.
