Happy When It Rains

Jesus and Mary Chain

sung by Jim



Step back and watch the sweet thing

breaking everything she sees

she can take my darkest feeling

tear it up till i'm on me knees

plug into her electric cool

where things bend and break

and shake to the rule

talking fast couldn't tell me something

i would shed my skin for you

talking fast on the edge of nothing

i would break my back for you

don't know why, don't know why

things vaporise and rise to the sky

and we tried so hard

and we looked so good

and we lived our lives in black

but something about you felt like pain

you were my sunny day rain

you were the clouds in the sky

you were the darkest sky

but your lips spoke gold and honey

that's why i'm happy when it rains

i'm happy when it pours

looking at me enjoying something

that feels like feels like pain

to my brain

and if i tell you something

you take me back to nothing

i'm on the edge of something

you take me back

and i'm happy when it rains
