Anthony Stewart Head This Town In The Rain Lyrics

This Town In The Rain Lyrics

Nothing's as sobering or quite frankly, depressing
As looking out on LA in
the rain
The colours of the houses, the pinks and pale blues
Against the
slab gray sky is all wrong - it's just wrong
And the palm trees, with their
dead leaves
Have a hangdog expression like someone took their fun
away
The tired, tarmaccadam strips, just watching idiots
Slip and slide
as their tires lose their grip on the road
Didn't anybody tell them you
can't drive the same - drive insane in the rain?
In this town
This town
in the rain
The sidewalks are soused as the guttering, so used to
drought
Spews the water out in loud gushing spouts
Like Hurricane
Harbour... without the fun
And parking lots are like boating lakes as
pockets and puddles
Seem to spring out of the ground
There's nowhere it
can run to, with no concept of run-off
Hunted hand haunted it lies there in
great gulps
No drains, no gain
This town
This town in the rain
