Violent Femmes - It's Gonna Rain Lyrics






Now who, who, who do you think I am?
Well, I built this ark with Japheth, Shem, and Ham.
Now what, what, what do you think it's gonna do
when I live by faith and now my work is through?

It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
I said it's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Yes, It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain.)
I'm so happy to say (It's gonna rain)
Oh It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain) on the world today

Now when, when, when I am in doubt
and I think that things for me will never work out,
but where, where, where the heart is true,
ya know Lord, your God, will never forsake you.

It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
I said it's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Yes, It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain.)
I'm so happy to say (It's gonna rain)
Oh It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain) on the world today

[repeat verse 1 (drums only)]

It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
I said it's gonna rain (It's gonna rain)
Yes, It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain.)
I'm so happy to say (It's gonna rain)
Oh It's gonna rain (It's gonna rain) on the world today
Forty days and forty nights (It's gonna rain)
Forty days and forty nights (It's gonna rain)
Hallileua, it's alright (It's gonna rain)
Everybody's sleepin' tight (It's gonna rain)
Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's gonna rain tonight.
[repeat chorus three times]

    pandalambert56 they did not get the attention they deserve

  12. B.... R....

    G, C, back to G, then D. The violent femmes chord structure.

  13. M.... W....

    In my opinion, in few songs, in small spots Gordon sounds a little like Neil Diamond! I love how he usually sings but then this little taste of honey appears in a few songs and..awww...he is an amazing singer!

    M.... W....

    Missy West Neil diamond?! what kinda drugs you been introduced to?!

  14. M.... W....

    agree 100%! Hallowed ground also brings back memories of my teen years...the Femmes got me through those years in a positive way and will always be a part of who I am. I should write them a thank you letter, funny how certain music can mean so much to us. They are THE only band I can honestly say I am a 'fan'. Other music I enjoy but will never be a fan as such. Violent Femmes forever! <3

  15. P.... C....

    The Whole album has religious overtones, with a country sound. Neither of which are my cup of tea, but the album is great, none-the-less.

    P.... C....

    Phill Caruso it is an awesome album

  16. P.... B....

    @mymayapapaya Yeah, Add It Up, wouldn't sound as good as it does if it weren't got Gano's voice.

  17. b.... ....

    @mymayapapaya listen to there other songs or go back in time , its what we needed , what we loved, until vera katz ex mayor of portland found out they where playing for canned food to help the poor. she built a fence around it and charged $ to get in the next summer . the bands and the people did not show . the city still had to pay the bill for that fence lol

  18. m.... ....

    @Lollita333 his voice makes it for me

  19. K.... S....

  26. c.... r....

    love them!!! been listenin to them since i was 13.......a while now. thanks for posting this brilliant, timeless music......yes.....timeless and brilliant

  27. R.... S....

    The violent femmes are not dead. They are alive and well on my iPod!

    You an idiot for saying this music has died.

  28. Z.... Z....

    Straight up gospel from the same band who asked us, "why can't I get just one fuck?" You gotta love that, no?

    Z.... Z....

    Sacred and profane, two sides of the same coin.

  29. R.... D....

    all i'm saying is that this type of music died a while back. because everyone i ask has never heard of violent femmes, but when i ask people if they've heard of the beatles, almost everyone knows about them because they made an actual contribution to today's music.

  30. R.... D....

    i agree, hip hop will die, but they'll be listening to led zeppelin

  31. K.... C....

    Chill2200, you need to Chill2200.

  32. m.... ....

    one of my most favorite songs of all time

  33. s.... ....

    HipHop?! For what?! No message, no story, repeat/repeat, talking to music, no singing or talent required...that hip hop? See, kid, hip hop WILL die...it's called a FAD!! The Femmes will live forever....where will u'r rappers be in 20 years? Rehab...listening to the Femmes!! LMAO

    MEOW

  34. R.... D....

    no one did, freedom of speech fuk tart

  35. R.... D....

    first of all, hip hop blows dick. rock, alternative, punk, metal, and screamo all the way. this song blows, go find better music taste.

  36. J.... M....
