Again, not that it's really about rain except as metaphor, but ...

you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness and prayers for rain

"Prayers for Rain" is one of my favorite Cure songs, from one of my favorite albums by anyone. A lot of people think Disintegration is murky and claustrophobic sounding, but I think a lot of people have not heard the original German Fiction CD. Sounds great. Dense production for sure, but I love the way it ends with the backward loops, whimsical sounding after what came before, and the storm breaking through in "The Same Deep Water as You"... Smith at his most passionate...

swimming in the same deep water as you is hard
kiss you and we shall be together

And the title track that comes apart next is just one more despairing breakup closer to the end, though it only comes apparent later...

songs about happiness
murmured in dreams
when both of us knew
how the ending would be

Prayers for Rain from the German Fiction CD up at song of the day now...

I leave you with photographs and pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew how the end always is
how the end always is...

Only love,
Can make it rain,
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love,
Can make it rain,
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields.

Love, Reign o'er me.
Love, Reign o'er me, Rain on me.

On the dry and dusty road,
The nights we spend apart alone.
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain.
I can't sleep and I lay and I think,
The night is hot and black as ink.
Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain.

Only love,
Can bring the rain,
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love,
Can bring the rain,
That falls like tears from on high.

Love, Reign o'er me.
Love, Reign o'er me, on me.

LOL! I got confused and was thinking that this was the "offensive lyrics" thread. I was scratching my head wondering what's so offensive about The Who's song.
