Still raining, still dreaming

9. Or "Blackberry Way", also by The Move.

It's a minor-chord takeoff on Penny Lane, kinda like Penny Lane's counterpart on the wrong side of the tracks.

It starts out...

"Blackberry Way
Absolutely pouring down with rain
It’s a terrible day"

[Bluebear]

6. The Rain, the Park and Other Things - Cowsills

[teach1st]

8. A whole bunch

Blind Melon - No rain
Pentangle - Rain and snow
Pretty Things - Rain
Traffic - Coloured rain
Willie Nelson - Blue eyes crying in the rain
Youngbloods - Rain song
Grease - It's raining on prom night
My Fair Lady - Rain in Spain
Dead - Mission in the rain, Box of rain

[Chovexani]

11. The Rain by Oran "Juice" Jones

Funniest. Song. EVER.

[JimmyJazz]

13. lyrics?

[Chovexani]

22. Thank the gods for Google

:) It's an '80s R&B one hit wonder song. The short of it: guy catches his girlfriend walking in the rain with another man. Hilariousness ensues when he confronts her. The song itself is funny but the video is comedy gold--especially in hindsight, with the cheesy 80s hair and outfits. You can catch it on VH1 Classic every once in a while. My friends and I still quote this song to this day (the long part at the end is him talking to her):

*I saw you (and him)
walking in the rain
You were holding hands
and I'll never be the same.

Tossing and turning another sleepless night
The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car didn't drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same.

Chorus

Chorus

Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I've got to say goodbye 'Cause

Chorus

Chorus

(I saw you)
Hey hey baby how ya doin' come on in here
(Walking in the rain)
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waiting for you
Listen first things first let me hang up the coat
(You were holding hands and I'll)
Yeah how was your day today
Did you miss me
(Never be the same)
You did? Yeah? I missed you too
I missed you so much I followed you today
(I saw you)
That's right now close your mouth
'Cause you cold busted
(Walking in the rain)
Now just sit down here, sit down here
I'm so upset with you I don't know what to do
(You were holding hands and I'll)
You know my first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
(Never be the same)
I was about to jam you and flat blast both of you
But I didn't wanna mess up
this thirty-seven hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead I chilled -- That's right chilled
I called up the bank and took out every dime.
Than I cancelled all your credit cards...
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelery
I ever bought you!
Don't go lookin' in that closet
'cause everything you came here with
is packed up and waiting for you in the guest room.
What were you thinking?
You don't mess with the Juice!
I gave you silk suits, blue diamonds and gucci handbags.
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce!
But now I can't give you nothing but advice.
Cause you're still young, yeah, you're young.
And you're gonna find somebody like me one of these days
Until then, you know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here
with that alley-cat-coat-wearing,
punch-bucket-shoe-wearing crumbcake I saw you with.
Cause you dismissed!
That's right, Silly rabbit,
tricks are made for kids, don't you know that.
You without me is like corn flakes without the milk!
This is my world.
You're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!
Now get on outta here.
Scat! Don't touch that coat...

[JimmyJazz]

[Philostopher]

17. Ooh -- there's my favorite Counting Crows song:

'Raining In Baltimore'

This circus is falling down on it’s knees
The big top is crumbling down
It’s raining in baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one’s around

I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call

These train conversations are passing me by
And I don’t have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way

I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat

...snip...

The Fortunes did "That Rainy Day Feeling Again"

http://www.song-lyrics-library.com/fortunes/fortunes-that-rainy-day-feeling-again-song-lyrics.html

Here comes that rainy day feeling again,
and soon my tears will be falling like rain...

It always seems to be a Monday,
Leftover memories of Sunday always spent with you.
Before the clouds appeared, and took away my sunshine.

Here comes that rainy day feeling again,
and I'll be dreaming of you baby in vain.

[JimmyJazz]

39. Hey, me too. I think I might be one or two years younger - my main

P.S. I knew you'd know the answer. Your musical taste is expansive!

33. Gary Allan - "Songs About Rain"

It's country.

===========================================================

Well this town has closed down, way too early
And there's nothing to do
So I'm driving around in circles
And I'm thinking about you
Today I heard you got a new last name
I sure didn't know it was gonna hit me this way
And the radio just keeps on playing all these
Songs About Rain...

Now there's all kinds of songs about babies
and love that goes right,
But for some unknown reason
Nobody wants to play them tonight,
Hey, I hope it's sunny wherever you are
That's sure not the picture, tonight in my car
And it sure ain't easin' my pain
All these songs like...

"Rainy Night In Georgia"
and "Kentucky Rain"
"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again",
"Blue Eyes Cryin" in the "Early Morning Rain"
They go on and on, and there's no two the same
Oh it would be easy to blame all these
Songs About Rain

Well, I thought I was over you
But I guess maybe I'm not
'Cause when I let you go
Looks like lonely is all that I got
I guess I'll never know what could have been
it sure ain't helping this mood that I'm in
If they're gonna keep on playin these songs like...

"Rainy Night In Georgia"
and "Kentucky Rain"
"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again",
"Blue Eyes Cryin" in the "Early Morning Rain"
They go on and on, and there's no two the same
Oh how I wish I could blame all these
Songs About Rain

All these Songs About Rain...

[JimmyJazz]

[dolo amber]

40. My fave "rain" song

Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

[JimmyJazz]

Rain

by Madonna
Rain

I feel it
It's coming

Refrão:
Rain
Feel it on my finger tips
Hear it on my window pane
Your love is coming down like
Rain
Wash away my sorrow
Take away my pain
Your love's coming down like
Rain
When your lips are burning mine
And you take the time to tell me how you feel
When you listen to my words
And I know you've heard
I know it's real
Rain is what the thunder brings
For the first time
I can hear my heart sing
Call me fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top
Till I feel your

Repete Refrão:

When you looked into my eyes
And you said goodbye
Could you see my tears
When I turned the other way
Did you hear me say
I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting In a perfect sky
You promissed me when you said goodbye
That you'd return when the storm was done
And now I wait for the light
I wait for the sun till I feel your

Repete Refrão:

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say
Never go away

Waiting for the hardest thing
It's strange I feel like I've known you before
I tell myself if I believe in you
And I want to understand you
In the dream of you
More and more
With all my heart and all my soul
When I'm with you
That by sheer force of will
I feel like a magical child
I will raise you from the ground
Everything strange
And without a sound you'll appear
Everything wild
And surrender to me
To love

Rain is what the thunder brings
For the first time
I can hear my heart sing
Call me a fool but I know I'm not
I'm gonna stand out here on the
Mountain top
Till I feel your

Rain
I feel it
It's coming
Your love's coming down like
Repete

48. Purple Rain - Prince

never meant 2 cause u any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause u any pain
I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing
I only wanted 2 see u laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal u from another
It’s such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted 2 see u underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It’s time we all reach out 4 something new
That means u 2
U say u want a leader
But u can’t seem 2 make up your mind
I think u better close it
And let me guide u 2 the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

If you know what I’m singing about up here
C’mon raise your hand

Purple rain purple rain

I only want 2 see u, only want 2 see u
In the purple rain
