It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

IT’S A BLUE SKY DON’T HOLD NO RAIN
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try again
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try forever
Forever

We came across some bones of men
Scattered in the rust
So many good souls turned to dust
Within their shattered husks
And these people had worn jewels
And their heads had been held high
Speckled foreheads touched the sky
Behold the sparkling in their eyes

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving to do

Some time ago the white man came
Bringing Bible books and swords
Bound them up in twining cords
In the name of their great Lord
They slew down the Aztecs
Inca, Ebu, Maasai
Now we hide in concrete lies
To my Mammon side I cry

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving left to do

Now the world’s a spinning ball
Two thirds with none to eat
While we chew our scrawny meat
Can you hear those big bells beat?

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

Cascine introduces producer Holly Waxwing with their Peach Winks EP, a nimble body of work that quickly shifts among disco house, fizzy pop and slippery footwork. Each track on the Peach Winks unfolds within itself and across the EP to unveil a collection of tracks that shine just as brightly on the Deep Web as they do in the club. Holly's previous single, "Chalant," was originally released on CSCN, Cascine's singles imprint, last fall.
