joe strummer - pouring rain 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
not a siren wailed in pain
not even a shadow of desire
in the pouring, pouring rain

[verse 2]
breeze black windows in dead streets
where i was lived up on the cheap
“ask no questions, work and sleep”
said the old time ghosts on dead streets

[chorus]
i could hear the shout, but not the pain
some lucky stranger in the rain
i could hear the shout, but not the pain
to some lucky stranger in the rain

[verse 3]
well, hammers beat in dusty times
on these weedy, rusted lines
mocking the sun and optimistic signs
above the chained+off gates of iron
[chorus]
the sun won’t shine this way again
the lucky moon went on the wane
oh, i never saw a star again
in the pouring, pouring rain

[verse 4]
groove by the sharp italian feets
the corner shops with scissor t++th
clippin’ the life from weary me
talkin’ em down on hp street, yeah, have mercy

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

[chorus]
could hear the shout, but not the pain
some lucky stranger in the rain
could hear the shout, but not the pain
to some lucky stranger in the rain
