If you live in Vancouver - you have the same average rainfall as Manchester does. There's a popular Manchester saying: if you can see the Pennine [hills], it's about to rain. If you can't see them, it's raining... Piccadilly Rain Words and music: Brian Booth, copyright 2003; based on a story by Colin Bates Piccadilly rain Comes from nowhere Piccadilly rain Doesn’t clear the air And the statues Bleeding white and grey And the pavements Shining green today At the bus stop Will you talk? At the bus stop Will you walk? Why’s your friend here? What is it you can’t say? Why’s your friend here? Why must it be this way? Manchester goodbye Sealed by the rain Manchester goodbye Please no, not again Please speak to me It can’t end here Please speak to me Not like this, not like this... But you told me Through your friend Yes you told me Here’s the end And the rain cried for me And the rain dried on me And the rain washed my face The rain left no trace Stone cold heart Or just an act? Stone cold heart Or a matter of fact? Are those tears on your face Or just the rain? I don’t want it to be rain... Manchester goodbye Piccadilly rain... Piccadilly rain... Piccadilly rain... x
