Love And Rockets--Rain Bird (with lyrics)

Rain bird dives throught the hole
In a broken guitar
Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue
Like a stranded insect
Stuck in a bowl of glue
He tries to fly
But he will die
If he ever leaves the zoo
Rain Bird / Rain Bird
Rain bird swoops through the
Chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights
Of a famous stage
He tries to become invisible
Whilst stealing the front page
Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird
When you were a boy
You used to wish for this
But like the cat who turns his nose
Up at the dish
Now that you have it
You want to give it away
When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance
In a boot and shoe yard
That's when you wanted
What you now give away
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird

@RivrPhoenix Salem OR? I'm listening to this in Salem OR in 2011, and its still every bit as good.

I love this whole album. Each song has it's own special meaning to me for one reason or another. I'm sure you all feel the same way. Don't know about you all, but I feel lucky to have been alive during this period of musical opportunity. The music nowadays sucks balls. Long live 80's and 90's alternative music!!!

My best friend Bonnie and I - back in Salem, Oregon - 1986 .... Getting stoned up in her bedroom listening to Rain Bird -

This song falls under what I term "Beautifully Meloncolique" and this song has always made me feel this way... THANK YOU

Great song of course written by my man David J, a genius in my humble opinion.

This is such a beautiful song. This is my favourite song by Love and Rockets. The pictures of birds ar equally beautiful. This is a solid posting. The sound is clear and crisp. The selection and sequence of the pictures are superb! Bravo! Thank you very much for posting! Cheers!
