Right As Rain Lyrics
i'm the same by name
i had a friend called 'generous bilby'
he was the same by name
his only advice was that he died
while i did a little dance
dust to dust the preacher sighted
i did a little cry
on adjourn by name
last there and long
it's not fair to blame me, for not believing what i saw
his only advice was that i danced in the shiny white shirt
he should have known
i'd be the last, to be there first
right as rain
tombstone and the damage done
how beautiful the naked skin
how beautiful it glows
this is where the bleeding stops
and this is what it shows
it has turned into a scar, the same
just the same, the same
but anyway
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes
i'm a man my name
had a friend called 'deadly bilby'
but he slipped away
and he said:
"poor me out some whiskey man,
there's something you should know.
the person that you take me for,
was buried long ago..."
right as rain
tombstone and the damage done
how beautiful the poetry
how beautiful the prose
this is where the story ends
and this is where it goes
it just turned into an alibi
but anyway
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes
i had a friend called 'generous bilby'
he was the same by name
his only advice was that he died
while i did a little dance
dust to dust the preacher sighted
i did a little cry
last there and long
it's not fair to blame me, for not believing what i saw
his only advice was that i danced in the shiny white shirt
he should have known
i'd be the last, to be there first
how beautiful the naked skin
how beautiful it glows
this is where the bleeding stops
and this is what it shows
it has turned into a scar, the same
just the same, the same
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes
had a friend called 'deadly bilby'
but he slipped away
"poor me out some whiskey man,
there's something you should know.
the person that you take me for,
was buried long ago..."
how beautiful the poetry
how beautiful the prose
this is where the story ends
and this is where it goes
it just turned into an alibi
this is where the sane will park
his foot upon your toes

this one is beautiful. i think it's about losing a friend, but that's not all. maybe it is an imaginary friend ('i'm the same by name') and ('this is where the sane will park his foot upon your toes') and what about this alibi thing?
please add your opinion on the lyrics
It was written after the death of Toms father as far as I know
yes, I remember reading in an interview with Tom that it was about his father's death. Which confirms the interpretation given here : http://www.hotellounge.com/songs/_index.htm read it yourself for more details as I won't steal from Jyves' great website ;)
