Knocked Up movie - Grey In L.A. lyrics

rate me

Song by Loudon Wainwright III<br /><br>

When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way<br>

Cause there's way too much sunshine round here <br>

I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies<br>

Whenever they always appear<br>

<br>

And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down<br>

On my carport roof made out of tin<br>

If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides<br>

We all have to pay for our sin<br>

<br>

Chorus I<br>

And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads<br>

And the freeways will all start to clog <br>

And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised<br>

When your whole house smells like your wet dog<br>

<br>

When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way<br>

It reminds you that this town's so cruel<br>

Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses<br>

But really you're one more fool<br>

<br>

And I'm just a chump<br>

And this whole town's a dump<br>

We came out here to dump all our dreams<br>

Of making it big but we're stuck in a sig alert nightmare<br>

That's just how it seems<br>

<br>

Chorus II<br>

And I suppose Laurie David sure knows<br>

All those cars we drive heat up our earth<br>

And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies<br>

And brush fires can sure curb your mirth<br>

<br>

Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay here<br>

There's no place that's better i know<br>

For a wannabe star stuck in a car<br>

On a freeway with nowhere to go<br>

<br>
