All I see here, grey and gloom
Looks like it′s gonna rain again (rain again)
All I see here, grey and gloom
Looks like it's gonna rain again
Rain
Yo, I′m from the south side of Manny
But you can find me where shelter's at
Empty bottles in the rain locate just where the elders sat
Rainbows only lead pots to piss in
Lots of wrong decisions
You can hear the optimism if you stop and listen
The block we live in block the sun from giving vitamin D
Depression setting in the wettest settings
Red letter headings, get ignored
Steppers stepping, get on board
Before them grey cloud circulate, rain down percolate
Street gutters wash away the heat from us
Umbrellas between lovers, yeah, we rum and seek cover
The city never sleeps, there's zombies in the stairwell
We lost another one, no one cared to share a farewell
And hell yeah, care for all our welfare
Off the streets, free your mind, peace and love to me and mine
Children of Zeus, the truth
And you can choose to read the signs
The storm′s coming, keep inside, keep inside
All I see here, grey and gloom
Looks like it′s gonna rain again
(The storm's coming, keep inside, keep inside)
All I see here, grey and gloom
Looks like it′s gonna rain again
(The storm's coming, keep inside)
Rain
Rain again
Rain again
Yeah, yeah
Rain again
What you know about this, eh?
And what you know about this?
Rain again
The storm′s coming, keep inside, free your mind
Yo, daily struggles, see the spectrum in puddles
Water mixed with the oil, bring that s**t to the boil
Cellophane and the foil, pebbles mixed with the soil
Don't mix your money with friends
You′re either rich or you're loyal
Trying to make my way up the ladder, slipping on land and on snakes
You see the devil in a man when he breaks, yeah
They wanna know how much a man can withtake
Screams in the night, you struggle just to read and to write
Money brings another reason to fight, three strikes
Keep your fam' close, bouquets hanging on every lamp post
From here to Ancoats, you pay the price with pink stained bank notes
Skyscraper, no perspective from it either
Extra heater, no electric with the metre
Caught in the storm, you should′ve stayed indoors
It′s bare drama, when it rains, it pours, when it rains, it pours
All I see here, grey and gloom
(Yeah)
Looks like it's gonna rain again
(Bare drama, when it rains, it pours, when it rains, it pours)
All I see here, grey and gloom
Looks like it′s gonna rain again
(Bare drama, when it rains, it pours, when it rains, it pours)
