From the recording Family Portraits (Volume IV)
A song about the litany of disasters which has befallen on me and my family in the last year. Pretty much all this stuff happened in our annus horribilis...a year to forget! But what better way to balm it than by turning it into a song!
Lyrics
Don’t Rain But It Pours
Covid-19
Trapped wind
Cataracts
Anxiety
Dodgy knees
Heart attack
Row, row, row the boat
Gently, down the stream
You keep a tight ship
Then you spring a leak!
Don’t rain but it pours
It’s just one thing after another
It’s not like TV
Where it’s always endless summer
Epilepsy
Seizures and fits
Overweight and
Obese
Family death
Gunshot wound
IBS
Merrily, merrily, merrily!
Life is but a dream!
You do all the right things
Still life intercedes
Don’t rain but it pours
It’s just one thing after another
It’s not like TV
Where it’s always endless summer
There is always a
Dark cloud over me
I need a holiday
A little break
Some relief
Don’t rain but it pours
It’s just one thing after another
It’s not like TV
Where it’s always endless summer
Rain
Rain
Down on me!
Rain
Rain
Down on me!
