Hatful Of Rain - Del Amitri

Lovehearts on an old stone building

Have no relevance now

Sherry bottles in a bus-stop litter bin

Remind me of you somehow

You look so young it’s frightening

Life’s been good to you

But strike me down with bolts of lightning

If I wasn’t good to you too

Throw me away, throw me away again

'Cos I don’t mind, I’m still satisfied

With just a hatful of rain

Merry widows in stock gloss magazines

Dumbstruck open their mouths

And out comes some old jackpot philosophy --

Everything must pay somehow

And I’ve heard you say that he just works for me

Doing things that you can’t do

But grease my palms with a hatful of currencies

I don’t belong to you

Throw me away, throw me away again

'Cos I don’t mind, I’m still satisfied

With just a hatful of rain
