Dire Straits - It Never Rains + lyrics

Dire Straits - It Never Rains

Lyrics:

I hear the Seven Deadly Sins
and the Terrible Twins came to call on you
the bigger they are babe
the harder they fall on you
and you you're always the same you persevere
on the same old pleasure ground
oh and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

You had no more volunteers
so you got profiteers for to help you out
with friends like that babe
good friends you had to do without
and now they've taken the chains and the gears
from off your merry-go-round
oh and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

And your new Romeo
was just a gigolo when he let you down
see the faster they are babe
the faster they get out of town
leaving make up stains and the tears
of a clown
yes and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

Oh you were just a roller coaster memory
I don't know why I was even passing through
I saw you making a date with Destiny
when he came around here asking after you
in the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune
you're busy trying to clear your name
you say 'I may be guilty yeah that may be true
but I'd be lying if I said I was to blame
see we could have been major contenders
we never got no money no breaks'
you've got a list of all the major offenders
you got a list of all their major mistakes
and he's just standing on the shadows
yes and you smile that come-on smile
oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day
'I'd like to make it worth your while'

Ah but it's a sad reminder
when your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
and all you've got to give him
is the use of your side-show tent
yes and that's all that remains of the years
spent doing to rounds
and it never rains around here
well it just comes pouring down

Now you know what they say about beggars
you can't complain about the rules
you know what they say about beggars
you know who's the first to blame his tools
you never gave a damn about who you pick up
and leave lying bleeding on the ground
you screw people over on the way up
because you thought that you were never coming down
and he takes you out in Vaudeville Valley
with his hand up smothering your screams
and he screws you down in Tin Pan Alley
in the city of a billion dreams

@fetass100 not the engineers - its the musicians. You can have the best engineers - engineers don't make music.

God of the guitar... Mark Knopfler...

[MrSalahedien]

This is what we call creativity,,,,,,,Mark knopfeler & Bob dylon to me are the eighth wonder

[Nenene1312]

Mark rarely uses foul words, but when he does - they are powerful.

[GeorgeTel100]

Either I've lost my mind or all you guys admiring the guitar solo at the end are too blind to notice the real gem of this song - the beauty of the melody before that!.....

[petegrierson]

In reference to my last comment , Dylan inspired lyrics and vocals , Knophler inspired guitar, dosen't get any better than this! I go we the perfection comments.

[petegrierson]
