Story Behind The Song

This song explains the demise of the writer's second marriage. Need I say more? He was always grouchy, no matter what the situation. Not good enough. Never good enough.

Song Description

Some people are always in a bad mood. No matter what you do or say, they are still in a bad mood. All they have to do is walk into a room and the weather changes for the worse. Everyone is like this sometimes, but some people are like this all the time.

Lyrics

Little Black Cloud
Words & Music by Elly Wininger


There's a little black cloud hanging over your head.
I can see it when you walk in the room.
I guess you couldn't find the right side of the bed.
So here you come with your doom and gloom.

I don't know how you do it.
You really got a knack
For breaking the mood
And it's so hard to get it back.

And you, you suck the joy out of life.
You suck the joy right out of life.
Every time I look around, what's that sound?
Oh yeah, it's you, sucking the joy out of life,

I try to steer clear when you're acting this way.
But all you want to do is pick a fight.
No matter what I do, no matter what I say,
I know it's not gonna be right.

I don't know how you do it.
You really got a knack
For missing the point
And getting off track.

And you, you suck the joy out of life.
You suck the joy right out of life.
Every time I look around, what's that sound?
Oh yeah, it's you, sucking the joy out of life,

I don't know how you do it.
You really got a knack
For killing the light
And fading to black.

And you, you suck the joy out of life.
You suck the joy right out of life.
Every time I look around, what's that sound?
Oh yeah, it's you, sucking the joy out of life,
You know you really suck the joy.....out of life.
