like how this is the New Wave Outpost, not the Crap 80s asswipe[?]

having said that, here's the lyrics to "Rain" by Dragon:

Well it's a happenin' thing
And it's happenin' to you
Full moon and thunder
Ribbons of blue
Ice on the window
Ice in my heart
Foolin' with thunder
Every time we start

It's been rainin' for so long
It's been rainin' for so long

Well isn't it a wonder
The streets are dark
Isn't it a wonder
We fall apart
Day after day straight rain falls down
All over town, rain comin'

It's been rainin' for so long
It's been rainin' for so long

Don't you go out in the rain
Don't go out in the pourin' rain
If you go out in the rain
You never have that time again

Isn't it a wonder
Streets are dark
Isn't it a wonder
We fall apart

All these feelings they seem so wrong
Remember, we were so strong
It's been rainin' for so long
It's been rainin' I can't go on

Don't you go out in the rain
Don't go out in the pourin' rain
If you go out in the rain
You never have that time agai

Sugoi !!!

Blame the Weather by XTC:


When your love's flown out the window,
And the pain comes through the door.
Once again you've missed the boat,
And you're stranded on the shore.
And you find out that what you had,
Was never yours at all,
Friends and lovers that you knew so well,
Will never take your calls.

So,
You blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh
Can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines.

If you play the game
You've got to be prepared to take a knock,
You get put down so many times,
But you keep on getting up.
So put your tears away,
And don't forget to worry is a crime,
Nothing bears thinking about too much,

[Blame The Weather lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]
You'll be old before your time.

So,
You blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh
Can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines.

The pool of tears you left to drown in,
The helping hands that never came,
The years you lost out to another,
All up in flames

So,
You blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh,
Blame the weather,
Oh-oh
Can't you see you're in your prime?
You're turning creases into lines.

No, this is serious business. If you're going to take it lightly then we need to have a talk, mister!

It's raining men! Hallelujah! - It's raining men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Every specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

APB - Rainy Day

Why did it have to rain today?
I really want to know
This country's cursed with stormy weather and it's always cold
