THE BEATLES lyrics of the week

ShoutAboutMusic is almost 100 posts old and it's remarkable that this is the first time the Fab Four have got a mention. Like many Lennon/McCartney compositions, the sentiment of the song ('Rain') is simple and universal while, musically speaking, this is one of the most psychedelic (and experimental) tunes they ever produced. And the outro features some freaky backwards looping that you just gotta love (see the last line of the lyrics!)...

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
And sip their lemonade.
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.

Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the world looks fine.

I can show you that when it starts to rain,
Everything's the same.
I can show you, I can show you.
 
Rain, I don't mind.
Shine, the world looks fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
It's just a state of mind?
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
 
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI.
