LYRICS

IT'S RAINING AGAIN. SUPERTRAMP

It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

And you know it's hard to pretend

Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend

Oh no, it's raining again

Oh, will my heart ever mend

You're old enough some people say

To read the signs and walk away

It's only time that heals the pain

And makes the sun come out again

It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Come on, you little fighter

No need to get up-tighter

Come on, you little fighter

And get back up again

It's raining again

Oh no, my love's at an end

Oh no, it's raining again

Too bad I'm losing a friend, oh

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Come on, you little fighter

No need to get up-tighter

Come on, you little fighter

And get back up again

Oh, get back up again

Oh, fill your heart again

LYRICS

It was an early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn And I really have enjoyed my stay But I must be moving on Like a king without a castle Like a queen without a throne I'm an early morning lover And I must be moving on Now I believe in what you say Is the undisputed truth But I have to have things my own way To keep me in my youth Like a ship without an anchor Like a slave without a chain Just the thought of those sweet ladies Sends a shiver through my veins And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few   Goodbye stranger it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Sweet devotion (Goodby Mary) It's not for me (Goodbye Jane) Just give me motion (Will we ever) To set me free (Meet again) In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow) Far away (Feel no shame) It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow) Every day (Feel no pain) So goodbye Mary (Goodbye, Mary) So goodbye Jane (Goodbye, Jane) Will we ever (Will we ever) Meet again (Meet again)

Now some they do and some they don't And some you just can't tell And some they will and some they won't With some it's just as well You can laugh at my behaviour And that'll never bother me Say the devil is my saviour But I don't pay no heed And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few   Goodbye, stranger, it's been nice Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane Will we ever meet again Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary) It's not for me (Goodbye, Jane) Just give me motion (Will we ever) To set me free (Meet again) In the land and the ocean (Feel no sorrow) Far away (Feel no shame) It's the life I've chosen (Come tomorrow) Every day (Feel no pain) So now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary) Got to go (Goodbye, Jane) Hit the road (Will we ever) I'll say it once again (Meet again) Oh, yes, I'm leaving (Feel so sorrow) Got to go (Feel no shame) Got to go (Come tomorrow) I'm sorry, I must dash (Feel no pain) So goodbye Mary (Goodbye, Mary) So goodbye Jane (Goodbye, Jane) Will we ever (Will we ever) Meet again? (Meetagain) Go and believeit I'vegottogo

De esta forma, el mensaje se lanzará este viernes a través de 150 emisoras públicas de 25 países europeos. Se trata de demostrar, frente al horror del ataque de Rusia a Ucrania, cómo el poder de la radio puede amplificar el apoyo a la paz y crear un movimiento unido en todo el continente.
