RAIN
While hope held sway, you walked away and said
It's never going to rain again
No it's never going to rain again
You closed your eyes, as you waved goodbye and said
It's never going to rain again
No it's never going to rain again
But look at it now
How it's raining
How it's raining
Raining down on us
When the rain comes
It only brings more pain
When the rain comes
I can't stand the sound of my own name
Now I'm lost in the poisoned rain
I can't stand the sound of my own name
My own name
You thought you'd grown, could stand alone and said
It's never going to rain again
No it's never going to rain again
But the clouds are back, the light fades to black
Because it's always going to rain again
Yes, it's always going to rain again
Just look at it now
How it's raining
How it's raining
Raining down on us
When the rain comes
It only brings more pain
When the rain comes
I can't stand the sound of my own name
Now I'm lost in the poisoned rain
I can't stand the sound of my own name
My own name
Look it's raining,
See how it's raining,
Raining down on us
When the rain comes
It only brings more pain
When the rain comes
I can't stand the sound of my own name
Now I'm lost in the poisoned rain
I can't stand the sound of my own name
My own name
OVERLORD
You've got your gold back home
Now you come like an overlord
It made you immortal
Turned you into some kind of monster
Took away the wide eyed boy
Left behind the smokescreen gangster yeah
The smokescreen gangster, yeah
Now you're out there playing the big man tonight
Out there preening yourself up where everyone can see
You've made so much money that you think that you're above the law
You've got your gold back home now you come like an overlord
You need more money
You want more money
You gotta make more
Money
You climbed your way up the greasy pole
Learned about the power of money
How it opened bad dream doors
Kept the victim's silence running
Their silence running
So you're out there looking for cheap thrills tonight
Out there playing the same game, where no-one else can see
You've got so much money that you think that you're above the law
You've got your gold back home now you come like an overlord
You need more money
You want more money
You gotta make more
Money, more money, money
Money, more money, money
Money,
Gotta make more
Money
You thought that it wasn't noticed
The played out act of the rich man overlord
But it's out there in the papers
The clown faced boy was just another fraud
Just another fraud
And for those who formed a shield for you
Just to win their pot of gold, how do they sleep at night
You've got so much money that you think that you're above the law
You've got your gold back home now you come like an overlord
You've got so much money that you think that you're above the law
You've got your gold back home now you come like an overlord
Money
JAMES
Spent my time looking into the sun
Never noticed how the years had run
Just,waiting for time to pass us by
So we danced on through those days
Lost in life's stormy haze
Still looking, for someone to show us the way
Oh James
Where did the time go
Oh James
How was I ever supposed to know
That you'd let me go
Slowly drifting to lives apart
Eyes staring off into the dark
We could, never get back to where we once were
So the bells of the moment tolled
As the forces of fate still rolled
In the end, two lives flailing out at sea
Oh James
Where did the time go
Oh James
How was ever I supposed to know
That you'd let me go
Let me go
It all feels like a lost dream now
Thoughts turned by darkened ploughs
We were, left behind in our own worlds
Should have woken up long ago
Grasped the nettle and never let go
Disregard, led us down these sunless roads
Oh James
Where did the time go
Oh James
How was I ever supposed to know
That you'd let me go
That you'd let me go
So very long ago
Bad Guy
He came into the room with that look on his face
He came into the room like he owned the place
And all the girls went oo la la
And all the boys felt the heat from his star
Heat from his star
Leaning on the wall sipping on his champagne
Freezing out the world with an air of disdain
And all the boys went oo la la
And all the girls felt the heat from his star
Heat from his star
Don't they know
That he's a
Bad, bad, bad guy
With his sad, sad little lies
And he'll take all your dreams from you
Just to make himself feel good
All the girls preen and try to catch his eye
Their only bite tonight is a whispered goodbye
And all the room went oo la la
And all the room felt the heat from his star
Heat from his star
Don't they know
That he's a
Bad, bad, bad guy
With his sad, sad little lies
And he'll take all your dreams from you
Just to make himself feel good
Through the looking glass
There are brave new worlds
Through the looking glass
The snakes lie hidden and curled
Yeah, the snakes lie hidden and curled
He shrugs his thoughts away and fades out through the door
A victimless hunt is such a terrible bore
And all the world went oo la la
And all the world felt the heat from his star
Heat from his star
Don't they know
That he's a
Bad, bad, bad guy
With his sad, sad little lies
And he'll take all your dreams from you
Just to make himself feel good
He's a
Bad, bad, bad guy
With his sad, sad little lies
And he'll take all your dreams from you
Just to make himself feel good
Feel good
