lyrics

please don't sweeten what you say
by using fancy words
that make it all sound better than it is

i don't need it sugar-coated
or dressed in something nice
made to feel like it's a hit when it's a miss

it ain't the angels crying
it's just rain, rain, rain

when you were thinking ribbon
i was thinking string
and that was used and had both frays and knots

while you imagine pearly white
it's something i can't see
because black is the only shade i got

it ain't that heaven's sobbing
it's just rain, rain, rain

flowers nod their heads to you
to me they wilt and die
and i just hate your fluffy clouds as the fuckers float on by

if it's romance that you want
then you can walk on past
and that road you'll take ain't yellow, made of bricks

with your verbal sleight of hand
you colour all you see
i'm not taken in by pretty words and all their tricks

it ain't the angels crying
it ain't that heaven's sobbing
it ain't the gods a-weeping
it's just rain, rain, rain

it's just rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain
(flowers nod their heads to you
to me they wilt and die
and i just hate your fluffy clouds as the fuckers float on by)
