It Never Rains

from Getting Nowhere Fast EP by John Beagley

/

lyrics

You’ve been once around the world and travelled back again
Seen the summits and the highs and depths of some despair
All for one and one for all - to the bitter end
Life can carry little love just when you need a friend

It never rained - but it poured
It never rained - on your shores

Time has had it in for you since the turning of the tides
Nothing ever worked for you despite your intense pride
You made the grade and worked so hard but nothing came of it
You won the fight but lost the deal on technicalities

But you believe in something bright - a chance will come your way
A scratch card with the winning line - to move you far away
All those who’ve been mocking you will eat their humble pies
And you will shine victorious and have your glory days….

Where you will reign - where you will reign shore to shore
Where you will reign - where you will reign forever more
And no-one will ever laugh at you behind your golden door
