I ONLY UNDERSTAND HER IN THE RAIN - Spit Polish

I only understand her in the rain

Yeh, well she fell in love with Harvest at the tender age of twelve
And developed a walk that sent the boys all straight to Hell
With her long black hair, the curtain now that kept them all back-stage
Makin’ a curse of their faces, yeh, and a curse of their age, yeh

You make me for, forget myself, if that’s impossible enough
Y’know you, you must be made now of some, some special stuff
And now I’m, I’m cleanin’ all the linen ‘cos my endin’s just beginnin’, oh yeh
I only understand her in the rain

Yeh, I hate your old photos and the smiles that they contain
Yeh your old damn boyfriends, think I’ll leave ‘em out in the rain
And let that dirty water wreck their pimple-barren skin
Yeh their retrograded T-shirts and the hold they’ve got you in, yeh

You make me for, forget myself, if that’s impossible enough
Y’know you, you must be made now of some, some special stuff
And now they’re bringin’ all the dolls in ‘cos I didn’t get the warnings, yeh
I only understand her in the rain

Well I made my big decision over sweet bourbon and dry
‘Cos you know that jealous husbands die well before their time
So I wrote it on my forehead, ah backwards so I’d see
Each morning when I wake up, thank God for your history, yeh

You make me for, forget myself, if that’s impossible enough
Y’know you, you must be made now of some, some special stuff
And now they’re pashin’ all the dolls in ‘cos I, I slept through all the warnings, oh
I only understand her in the rain

Oh yeh, I only under stand her in the rain
And I’m a-soakin’ to the bones again
Well that girl can bubble any scene
Oh make it up, cook up those bubblin’ beans for me
