joe strummer - pouring rain (1993) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i could see as i rode in
the ships were gone and the pit filled in
a funeral bell called the hour in
a lonesome drunk was stumbling

[chorus]
not a tw+ng of a guitar
the sound of your blues train got me far
not even a shadow of desire
in the pouring, pouring rain

[verse 2]
hammers beat in dusty times
on these weedy, rusted lines
mocking the sun and optimistic signs
above the chained+up gates of iron

[chorus]
the sun won’t shine this way again
the lucky moon went on the wane
the lights went out in the hall of fame
in the pouring, pouring rain

[verse 3]
breeze black windows in dead streets
where life was lived upon the cheap
“ask no questions, work and sleep”
said the old time ghosts on my old street
[chorus]
i hear the shout, but i don’t feel no pain
feel so lucky, spinning in the rain
i hear the shout, but i don’t feel no pain
absolutely [?] in the rain

[verse 4]
[?]
the corner shops with scissor t++th
they’re clippin’ the life from weary me
i’m knockin’ ’em down on hp street

[verse 5]
now the army band leads ’em in the train
that’s some trombone and some refrain
the future points to the weathervane
in the pouring, pouring rain

[chorus]
i hear the shout, but i don’t feel no pain
just a lucky stranger in the rain
i hear the shout, but i don’t feel no pain
absolutely [?] in the rain
