Strange Weather

1. The Ninth song on Tom Waits' 1988 live album, Big Time.

2. A phenomenon that occurs as a cliche everywhere in real life, as well as Hollywood and books. Strangers only talk about the weather, for the most part, no matter what the situation is.
Excerpt from Strange Weather-

The world is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around
Oh, and nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town
And a love like ours, my dear,

And I never buy umbrellas,
'Cause there's always one around.
And all over the world Strangers
Talk only 'bout the weather
