DIRE STRAITS - It Never Rains lyrics

rate me

I hear the seven deadly sins<br>And the terrible twins came to call on you<br>The bigger they are babe<br>The harder they fall on you<br>And you you're always the same you persevere<br>On the same old pleasure ground<br>Oh and it never rains around here<br>It just comes pouring down<br><br>You had no more volunteers<br>So you got profiteers for to help you out<br>With friends like that babe<br>Good friends you had to do without<br>And now they've taken the chains and the gears<br>From off your merry-go-round<br>Oh and it never rains around here<br>It just comes pouring down<br><br>And your new romeo<br>Was just a gigolo when he let you down<br>See the faster they are babe<br>The faster they get out of town<br>Leaving make up stains and the tears<br>Of a clown<br>Yes and it never rains around here<br>It just comes pouring down<br><br>Oh you were just a roller coaster memory<br>I don't know why I was even passing through<br>I saw you making a date with destiny<br>When he came around here asking after you<br>In the shadow of the wheel of fortune<br>You're busy trying to clear your name<br>You say 'i may be guilty yeah that may be true<br>But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame<br>See we could have been major contenders<br>We never got no money no breaks'<br>You've got a list of all the major offenders<br>You got a list of all their major mistakes<br>And he's just standing on the shadows<br>Yes and you smile that come-on smile<br>Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day<br>'I'd like to make it worth your while'<br><br>Ah but it's a sad reminder<br>When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent<br>And all you've got to give him<br>Is the use of your side-show tent<br>Yes and that's all that remains of the years<br>Spent doing to rounds<br>And it never rains around here<br>Well it just comes pouring down<br><br>Now you know what they say about beggars<br>You can't complain about the rules<br>You know what they say about beggars<br>You know who's the first to blame his tools<br>You never gave a damn about who you pick up<br>And leave lying bleeding on the ground<br>You screw people over on the way up<br>Because you thought that you were never coming down<br>And he takes you out in vaudeville valley<br>With his hand up smothering your screams<br>And he screws you down in tin pan alley<br>In the city of a billion dreams
