Deacon Blue and Ricky Ross - Raintown lyrics

it's a rain-dirt-town-job hurts, but it don't pay

all these calls they're making me and driving you insane

don't you see don't you understand

waiting for the phone to ring to make me all i am

you're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go

i'm down here working on some dumb show

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those tired eyes and tears and frowns

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those days you're not around

it takes a big hearted girl from the north country you can tell

how you payed those bills and went through heaven and hell

and you you cried and you travelled and you spat but you never asked

well how long how long how long is this pain

you're on for three minutes trying hard to say "hello"

i'm down here working on some dumb show

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those tired eyes and tears and frowns

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those days you're not around

sitting at home listening to your radio

listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those tired eyes and tears and frowns

in a raintown raintown rain down

on all those days you're not around
