When the Sky Turns Mean by Tony Gibbs

Clouds roll in like they know my name
Wind starts talkin’ all 'bout change
Radio man says “batten down”
But I seen worse than what’s comin’ now

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama say, “Boy, don’t tempt that sign”
I said, “Storms pass all the time”

When the sky turns mean
And the night burns blue
I won’t run, I won’t fold
I’ll be standin’ right here with you
Yeah, when the sky turns mean

Thunder knockin' on the window frame
Rain comin' hard but it don’t explain
Every fear wanna take the wheel
But I always steer by what I feel

When the sky turns mean
And the ground shakes loose
I won’t hide, I won’t lean
On excuses for the truth
Yeah, when the sky turns mean

Bad signs don’t decide my fate
I don’t borrow trouble — I just wait

When the sky turns mean
And the ground shakes loose
I won’t hide, I won’t lean
On excuses for the truth
Yeah, when the sky turns mean

When the Sky Turns Mean

BIRDS AND BLOKES
— Godvliet Records —

The sound of shifting dynamics between men and women in 1960s Britain.
“Birds and Blokes” transports you to the electric streets of 1964-1967 London, capturing the pulse of the Mod era. From the nervous energy of a first glance across a crowded dancefloor to the defiant independence of a generation finding its new voice, this album tells the story of attraction, conflict, and equality.

If you love bright Rickenbacker chops, forceful snare fills, and the gang vocal energy of the British Invasion—but want a sonic journey with real narrative depth—press play and step into the Swinging Sixties.
