lyrics

you gatecrashed my life
the unwelcome castaway
you were a little grey cloud
it was a clear blue day

it was all fine for a while
you hid yourself away
you were a little grey cloud
and i didn't need it to rain

then the day you ran away
and the house was not the same
so we fixed some pictures up
and we searched the street in vain
we found you trapped behind a wall
where you never should have been
so we called it east berlin

then you weren't going anywhere
Mm commander in chief
i put my waterproofs on
and i gritted my teeth

in time i learned we were the same
these words you couldn't say out loud
when I was feeling down
we were two little grey clouds

then you broke both your legs
and we never found out how
when they couldn't fix you up
so they had to put you down
and we held each other close
and we called ourselves humane
and our tears felt like rain

oh you've got green eyes
oh you've got blue skin
oh you've got grey fur
