SuperTramp is better known for many other songs like “Breakfast in America”, “The Logical Song”, “Goodbye Stranger”, and many others. However, this little pop song always makes me feel better when I hear it. The music video is good too as it demonstrates how we all endure some rough weather from time to time. The trick is to pick yourself up and keep on fighting.
I love this part of the song the most:
C’mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C’mon you little fighter
And get back up again.
Here’s Roger Hodgson performing the song live a couple of years ago.
Oh, 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 never 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, …
C’mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C’mon 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!Oh!
La, la, la, …
C’mon you little fighter
No need to get uptighter
C’mon you little fighter
And get back up again
Oh, get back up again
Oh, fill your heart again …
(It’s raining, it’s pouring)
(The old man is snoring)
(He went to bed and bumped his head)
(And he couldn’t get up in the
morning)
