(In the) Pouring Rain Lyrics
I could see as I rode in
the ships were gone and the pit fell in
a funeral bell tolled the hour in
a lonely drunkard slumbering
not the twang of the guitar
not even the siren wail of pain
not the shadows of desire
caught in the pouring pouring rain
breeze black windows on date street
where I was raised up on the cheap
(yeah, say!) ask no questions work and sleep
'til the old tango that's on date street
I can hear the sharpen of the pain
some lucky stranger in the rain
hear the sharpen of the rain
lucky stranger ... in the rain
hammers beat in dusty times
on these weedy rusted lines
mocking the sun and optomistic signs
all these weedy gates of iron
the sun won't shine my way again
lucky moon was on the wane
oh I'll never see a star again
in the pouring pouring rain
a salty band played for the train
a sad trombone and some refrain
the future pointed to the weather vane
the old calypso died of shame
I hear the sharpen of the pain
some lucky stranger in the rian
hear the sharpen of the pain
lucky stranger pouring rain
POURING RAIN !!!

i like rain a lot... and so of course i love this song. what it seems to me, is like if you were walking down a street at night in the pouring rain, and no one was out, then this song could be something you created in your head as you walked. does anyone understand me there? please?
ive never heard this song but the Clash are probably my favourite band so i'll check it out... wow, i love the way they wrote lyrics...
Where can I found this song I thought I had pretty much every clash song but I can't find this song anywhere
I'm pretty sure this is by Bob Geldof. It's for sure not the Clash, though.
Sorry Steve M. You are wrong. Clash original. Best damn b-side ever.
An internet first ... someone admitting they were wrong.

I was wrong. Bob Geldof did write a song with the same title, though.

Its on the soundtrack from "The Future is Unwritten"

This is a Cut the Crap era track by Strummer. It was never officially released, but demos and live performances circulate. Strummer later made an acoustic version for the soundtrack to 'When Pigs Fly'.
