japonisme: rain for roxy, whenever she wants it

rain for roxy, whenever she wants it




I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS

Im only happy when it rains
Im only happy when its complicated
And though I know you cant appreciate it
Im only happy when it rains





You know I love it
when the news is bad
And why it feels so good
to feel so sad
Im only happy when it rains


Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down, pour your misery down on me

Im only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
Im only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didnt accidentally tell you that
Im only happy when it rains

Youll get the message
by the time Im through
When I complain about me and you
Im only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down, pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
pour your misery down
Pour your misery down
pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
pour your misery down
Pour your misery down
pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
pour your misery down
Pour your misery down

You can keep me company
As long as you dont care

Im only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
Im riding high upon a deep depression
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me

Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me ...

Garbage





(don't miss tom hanks' version of 'singing in the rain'
in the movie punchline.)

loooootus!!! aaaa!!!!!

thank you thank you thank you... the prints are fabulous and I especially like the drawing with the little girl under the big umbrella and the scarecrow (?). who is the artist?

but no, I am not a gloomy person in real life :-) what on earth made you imagine that :-P (just joking, it is pretty clear what :-).

heh heh heh....

as an afterthought i went looking for rain on youtube and found it seriously lacking.

when it starts raining again i'm going to make a nice long non-handheld video, with no narration, with no music, of the raindrops falling on my pond, with its natural sounds and all....

and of course, i would have put the name of that image but didn't keep it for some reason. i tried all my usual tricks to try to retrace those steps but no luck.

yahhhh.... i can't wait till it rains, which doesn't usually happen here till around the end of october.

i hope it works. if it's straighforward, i wonder that it hasn't been done a million times by now.
