Ian Hunter - Rain lyrics
(ian hunter)<br><br>Billy said this town is dying,<br>It's dying just to be like me.<br>He was fighting everything in sight,<br>Died when he was 23.<br>I used to meet him down at his cafe,<br>He had one eye on the door<br>And the other on the writing on the wall.<br>He'd get restless and angry and we'd all laugh<br>'cause we weren't really scared,<br>We was his friends, he wouldn't hurt us at all<br>And all he'd say was rain, rain, rain<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain.<br>We gotta leave this town.<br><br>And glover was a dancer,<br>Imitating eddie cochran by the jukebox.<br>In the corner of the room<br>'till he was lost.<br>Barry 'n me, we used to escape, playing I go ape<br>Wearing italian clothes drinking cider talking in the rain<br>Hey babe, come over here, let me buy you a beer, what's your name,<br>She said boy, it doesn't really matter, don't you see? <br>You ain't what I want, you ain't what I need,<br>You ain't what I fancy, you ain't what I dream of 'n I'd silently leave<br>? ? you're ugly.<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain.<br>I gotta leave this place.<br><br>My history is a cop-out<br>Somewhere in the dark I got scared 'cause I knew I was gonna loose.<br>You know that feeling you get in your guts, all that frustration when you know<br>You're going nuts.<br>You gotta make a move.<br>There was billy and glover and pacer and taylor and valerie and barry<br>I remember what he said about that town.<br>He said I went to london once, came back,<br>Wiped the tears from my eyes, looked out the window,<br>And it was still pouring down,<br>More of that rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain,<br>Rain, rain, rain.<br>I'm gonna get a train,<br>Never coming back again.<br>'cause if I did it would be the same.<br>Boy, you really messed up my brain.<br><br>All of that rain rain rain,<br>Rain rain rain<br>Rain rain rain<br>Rain rain rain<br><br>Take your washing off the line.<br>Take your washing off the line.<br>Take your washing off the line.<br>Take the washing off the line.<br><br>It's gonna rain.<br>It's gonna rain.
