Cover art for I'm Only Happy When it Rains lyrics by Garbage

I heard the lead singer of Garbage say in interview that I'm only happy when it rains is about people who have to out do you in bad things that have happened. For instance when you are having a conversation about something sad that may have happened to you in your childhood and the other person has to out do you with sad stuff that is so much sadder than your stories could ever possibly be. The song is making fun of people like that. By the way that lead singer of garbage talks real sexy doesn't she?
