(marr, sumner)

  close your lips, we shall not speak of this
 i’m not the first person to know
 it’s only me out in the cold

  let me feel joy, i really need it
 rush in my blood, i want to feel it
 and i’m sure when it’s begun
 one into two always leaves one

  look at the rain, look at it falling
 into my world, why are you calling
 won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
 will not deserve, will not desert you

  look at the rain

  can you see, you were so indiscrete
 stole all the change off me
 how could i know that you would cheat?

  is it what i’ve done
 i could be or become
 i don’t need someone else
 this is me beside myself

  look at the rain, look at it falling
 into my world, why are you calling
 won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
 will not deserve, will not desert you

  look at the rain

  look at the rain, look at it falling
 into my world, why are you calling
 won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
 will not deserve, will not desert you

  look at the rain, look at it falling
 into my world, why are you calling
 won’t you come home, i will not hurt you
 will not deserve, will not desert you

  look at the rain

raise the pressure

despite nearing the five minute mark this is one of the tightest songs on raise the pressure, the dreary words lent an ironic melodrama thanks to the brisk, cheerful music, which has an effortlessly catchy feel to it. like if you’ve got love it features synth sounds very similar to those employed by kraftwerk and elektric music, and while it wasn’t written with karl bartos it does illustrate his influence in the studio.
