Rain
Billy said this town is dying It's dying just to be like me He was fighting everything in sight Died when he was twenty-three
I used to meet him down at his cafe He had one eye on the door And the other on the writing on the wall He'd get restless and angry and we'd all laugh
'Cause we weren't really scared We were his friends He wouldn't hurt us at all And all he'd say was
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain We gotta leave this town
And Glover was a dancer imitating Eddie Cochran By the jukebox in the corner of the room 'Til he was lost, Barry and me we used to escape Playing 'I Go Ape' wearing Italian clothes
Drinking cider, talking in the rain, hey babe, come over here Let me buy you a beer what's your name? She said, 'Boy, it doesn't really matter, don't you see? You ain't what I want, you ain't what I need'
'You ain't what I fancy, you ain't what I dream of' And I'd silently leave [unverified], you're ugly
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain I gotta leave this place
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com My history is a cop-out Somewhere in the dark I got scared 'Cause I knew I was gonna lose You know that feeling you get in your guts
All that frustration when you know you're going nuts You gotta make a move There was Billy and Glover and Pacer And Taylor and Valerie and Barry
I remember what he said about that town He said, 'I went to London once, came back Wiped the tears from my eyes, looked out the window And it was still pouring down'
More of that Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
I'm gonna get a train Never coming back again 'Cause if I did it would be the same Boy, you really messed up my brain
All of that Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
Take your washing off the line Take your washing off the line Take your washing off the line Take the washing off the line It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain
