If the rain comes they run and hide their heads, they might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade
(When the sun shines down)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
(When the Rain comes down)
Everything's the same
(When the Rain comes down)
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the weather's fine
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
(When it Rains and shines)
It's just a state of mind?
(When it rains and shines)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads

Thanks to all for comments, subs and PMs. For a tiny few who want to ask: **don't**. Buy the album. It's good for you.

Apparently the above is too subtle: I won't send you the music, you'll have to buy it. Support those artists.

**********************
R.E.M. clips -- Warner videos will (or won't) be back depending on the outcome of the lawsuit currently in court. Wtf is up with UMG, I do not know. Old IRS clips seem to be OK (unless I'm about to be booted), but most of the new ones posted from 'Reckoning' were rejected.**

**Correction: All were rejected. One that slunk through was just pulled. You better believe my language is getting pretty colourful back on this side of the computer.

***UPDATE: October 7 2009: So the WMG dispute with YT was settled on Sept 25, but most R.E.M. uploads are disabled anyway. Maybe they'll suddenly be cleared & posted, the way a couple of Blackhawk Down tracks were after sitting in limbo for six months (and maybe hope springs eternal). I miss linking to "Mr. Richards" or "Ignoreland" when politically vexed.

***********************
Some of these audio clips have official videos, but since embedding has been disabled, there's not much point (for me, anyway). Hopefully I won't be requested to block any of the new audio clips going up now. Others have homemade videos that just didn't strike my fancy for posts of my own -- not that there's anything wrong with those, just a personal preference. Hem hem hem hem
