Peter Doherty - I Am The Rain Lyrics






I am the rain
Held in disdain
Lotions and potions just add to my fame
The rime that in spain
Fall on the plain
The truth is I'm ruthless
I can't be contained.

I'm the rain

My friend the wind
To breath he is twinned
Blow high or low high
Tornadoes to spin

My mother the cloud
In widow's black shroud
Gives birth to the earth
Before fields can be plowed

Up in the sky, we've demand to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe

I'm the rain

My cousin the snow
Lays blankets below
States that her falkes are
The threads to the soul

My rival the sun
Who ripens the plum
Is feared and revered
He gives sight to the gun

Up in the sky, we've demand to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe

Up in the sky, we've demand to supply
I am necessity, base of the recipe

I am the rain, am the rain

I am the rain, who's held in disdain
The truth is I'm ruthless, I can't be contained...

    Why do I love Pete Doherty?

    2.... ....

    Hey,why not? He could be much prettier when he never took hard drugs,now he is clean;-)"(I hope that he is still clean)" And Pete is beautiful inside and when you are beautiful inside then you are beautiful outside...sorry I don´t took a translator,I don´t know why because I could look if I write it right,but I need my coffee first and I think that you understand me...lol :-D If not,okay,but please write it to me,yes?
    Sometimes I took a translator for few words that I don´t know in german;-)
    Greetings from Germany:)

    ​@Daniela Schwarz Most people from English speaking countries would have no idea where to begin to say a sentence like that in a foreign language; something we ought to be ashamed of so don't apologise for the standard of your English! It is amazing, better than a lot of people who speak English as a first language.:)

  21. Y.... ....

    so beautiful

  22. h.... t....

    I woke up with this song in my head but it was playing as "I am Lorraine"

    h.... t....

    Hannah: I'm 3 years too darn late - but best comment I've read via the medium of YouTube for a long time. 👍.

    The truth is I'm ruthless, I can't be contained...

    The rain that will come and fuck us all up
    washes all away so the game restarts

  26. T.... ....

We met you in Barcelona and I try to reach you somehow course we spend a good time but you know where to find us in Barcelona near the metro maresma forum line 4 hope to see you soon. Kiss your friends tamara and bernhard from Austria wish you the best hug

    Carl's "Faultlines" talk about him being Wind....

    @Angry German i'm not muslim yarrak

    D.... D....

    @Angry German LET IT GO! You'll feel better. You guys in Europe hold grudges forever. That is your problem. You fight, then you make up. You don't keep hating for years and years. Turks are alright in my book.

    D.... D....

  34. A.... M....

    @MakeMePotatos LoL

  35. R.... P....

    This is not a peter tune, its by a band from liverpool called the bandits...robinson plays it with pete on stage at glasto or somewhere...its on you tube. he goes way back with the bandits...so poetic or not its not a peter lyric anyway.

    R.... P....

    the song was written by Pete AND John Robinson, that's why you'll find vids of them playing it together

    R.... P....

    The song is written by pete

    R.... P....

    @Luisa Lieske Definitely written by John, well 95%. They just tweaked it together for Pete's album.

  36. p.... ....

    buena cancion

  46. J.... M....

    I'm speakless. Still perfect!

  47. M.... ....

  55. H.... H....

    shouldawouldacoulda... I'D still be his mommy

  56. h.... ....

    Jeff should have answered you " yes mommy !" ;)

  57. A.... H....

    by far the best song on the album

  58. H.... H....

    your mother does. for one dollar.

  59. H.... H....

    poets and drug addicts (not in a judgemental sense...)

  60. L.... G....

    Brilliant Peter.

  61. C.... ....

    wounderful!

  62. m.... ....

    yeah, he's 72 now

    m.... ....

    Rubbish!

  63. J.... D....

    That's a double negative.

  64. T.... ....

    I guess you mean Bob Dylan and not Robert Allen Zimmerman ... hmmm ... who knows?

    T.... ....

    Bob Dylan is Robert Allen Zimmerman

  65. e.... ....

    well that's wrong as well

  66. K.... M....

    *DOESN'T* have anything in common.

  67. �.... E....

    You're legend.

  68. M.... V....

    ..don't have *ANYTHING* in common.

  69. P.... ....

    You're wrong. They're poets.

  70. H.... ....

    Bob Dylan and Pete Doherty don't have nothing in common

  71. a.... r....

    or some romantic bullshoit like that

  72. N.... M....

    nice...

  73. S.... ....

    personally I find this to be one of the greatest lyrics ever written. even reading it is great.

    S.... ....

    Sawizzard your joking right? Best lyrics ever???

  74. M.... ....

    would love to party with this guy

  75. R.... ....

    RIght, OK l know everybody thinks Pete Doherty is probably a messed up drug addict person and a bad role model

    but come on when you listen to this song it is absolutely quality and it (possibly) came under the influence of drugs

    music is just one of those things that comes with drugs, in Pete Doherty's case he has done it far too much

  76. M.... W....

    This has been bothering me for weeks. Is this praise or criticism?

  77. t.... d....

    I'm grateful with all my heart to Pete for this beautiful music, he is really a genius.
    I love him......

  78. A.... ....

    This isn't a poet's world right now at this moment...wasn't it Carl himself that said whenever he is with pete he feels like he is in another dimension...this song takes me there...beautiful

  79. S.... S....

    Why do you want to smoke crack with pete?

  80. b.... ....

    music is poetry

  81. H.... ....

    Sorry all my friends made fun of me cause I had a fixation with Peter Doherty, and then when I studied John Wilmot I got a bit fixated on him and they were all like "you've basically just got a crush on Pete Doherty from 400 years ago"

  82. H.... ....

    JOHN WILMOT.
    Sorry, I'm so excited when people know him.
    <3

  83. e.... ....

    he's great!

  84. S.... S....

    why are people posting like hes dead??

  85. e.... ....

    Yes you are right, but is inevitable to make comparisons. Peter Doherty is unique.

  86. m.... ....

    He's the John Wilmot and Lord Byron of today. He'll be remembered centuries away.

  87. T.... G....

    watch?v=6NKXl7TGbfc

  88. L.... A....

    Pete gives me chills

  89. E.... C....

    Bloody Hell, British music is the BEST!!!

  90. B.... ....

    I'd like to see the video of this song!

  91. S.... D....

    Doherty does poetry

    S.... D....

    Poetry in itself that comment my friend. Don't worry, I noticed. 👍😎

  92. p.... m....

    check out the band calm as the colour

  93. M.... H....

    this isn't music, this is poetry..

  94. w.... b....
