Heavy Showers

(album: What We Almost Made - 2008)

So some aftershave
even though today he can't be asked to shave
So he'll just look like Tom Hanks did in “Cast Away”
These days he feels like a basket case
His fridge door won't shut without masking tape
Eight to eight
The gas people try to milk him like farmer's maid
His apartment's covered in carpet stains
Needs to buy a card today, 'cause it's Father's Day
What a start to the day, it's only half-past eight
When he steps out his front door and it starts to rain

Drops keep falling on my head
I should've never left the safety of my nan's sworn bed
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I should've listened to the sentence that the weatherman said
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I wish I never worn those trainers and my brand new threads
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I should've listened to the sentence that the weatherman said

Now he's soaked to the bone, and he's frozen
was cozy at home, all alone, but he's chosen
To dash for the high-street, the sky keeps falling
Pouring, this ain't drizzly-like rain sort-of spell
He's wetter Kevin Costner was in “Waterworld”
He knows there's something else he really should've bought as well
An umberella-ella-ella-ehh
should have checked the weather and not did with a fella
On his way to the shops, he drops in to Clinton
Place he has missed on a card for his pops
Gets his sprint on
Stops off at IRLEN, gets inc for his printer
He's able but somehow it's cold in the winter
Wet socks let's not forget a sore head
Drop it by those guzzler mothers haggled at the bus stop
Pay the bills tomorrow when the sunshine comes up
Runs back home and his at the rain

Drops keep falling on my head
I should've never left the safety of my nan's sworn bed
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I should've listened to the sentence that the weatherman said
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I wish I never worn those trainers and my brand new threads
Rain drops keep falling on my head
I should've listened to the sentence that the weatherman said
