“Clear Skies” was the first song from the album to be broadcast, after it was played on BBC Radio 6.
Tom commented on the lyrics, which are about the US and how, beneath the glamour and glitz, there’s “a dark undercurrent”:
I think the song’s about how this beautiful place, with its clear skies an...
High on the bell tower
I took my view
Over the downtowns
And the avenues
Where the streets are wide
And the people thrive
And its further to fall down
Cause you fly so high
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
Down in the delta
The city wakes
Turns on the TV
As the levee breaks
Where the streets are burned
Hot summer sun
And there's nowhere to run to
When your time has come
I've never seen such beauty
I've never seen such clear skies
I've never seen such high hopes
I've never seen such tired eyes
Pull the roots up piece by piece
Love lives watching over me
Take my pills and went to sleep
Oh, and I sang myself to sleep
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
And I wish that I could see
The world the way you do
As selfishly as you
And I wish that I could be
Everything you are
Everything you are
And I wish that I could state
My faith the way you do
As certainly as you
Clear skies going to fall on you
Clear skies going to fall on you
Clear skies going to fall on you
On you, on you
Clear skies going to fall on you
Clear skies
