The Australian edition of the second single from the British alternative rock group's 1999 & second album 'The Man Who'. Travis are a must for fans of Radiohead. Currently on the road with Oasis. This edition contains five tracks, both backing cuts from the first part of the deleted U.K. pressing (the non-album cuts 'Village Man' & 'Driftwood' (recorded live in Glasgow), plus their highly sought after cover of Britney Spears' hit '...Baby One More Time' that they've been known to perform in concert, as well as a multimedia section. 1999 release. Slimline jewel case.



WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME?

They played it at what had been a sunny Glastonbury... and it rained. But the third single from The Man Who proved to be the most successfull for the band yet. Director John Hardwick once again did his best to test the endurance of Travis with the whole band required to take a day long underwater training session for some shots, and a hogtied Fran starting the video in the boot of a car!

The single achieved the bands highest chart placing yet at 10, shortly to be followed by the album The Man Who finally rising to Number One in the album charts, after 13 weeks in the top 20. CHARTED (10)-UK

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME?

I can't sleep tonight
everybody's saying everything is alright
still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

[ chorus ]
why does it always rain on me?
is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
why does it always rain on me?
even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
sunny days, oh where have you gone
I get the strangest feeling you belong

why does it always rain on me?
is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
why does it always rain on me?
even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

middle eight
oh where did the blue sky go?
oh why is it raining so?
it's so cold

(repeat 1st verse and chorus)

oh where did the blue sky go? oh why is it raining so?
it's so cold

why does it always rain on me?
is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
why does it always rain on me?
even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
why does it always rain on me?
why does it always rain on 


VILLAGE MAN

I don't wanna rock, baby don't wanna rock
I just feel I'm stuck up against the clock
I don't really wanna rock tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
 
I don't wanna roll, baby don't wanna roll
I just feel I'm cold like I'm getting old
I don't really wanna roll tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Please, please don't turn out the light

Rock'n'roll village man
Northern soul peter pan
Rock'n'roll rocket man
Skater phase desperate Dan
Rock'n'roll never sounded better

I don't wanna be, baby don't wanna be
I just feel it's me falling off the tree
I don't really wanna be tonight
I only wanna keep you right

I don't wanna try, baby don't wanna try
I just feel I'm dry trying to get by
I don't really wanna try tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Please, please don't turn out the light

Rock'n'roll rocket man
Skater phase desperate Dan
Rock'n'roll village man
Northern soul peter pan

You can...

I don't wanna rock, baby don't wanna rock
I just feel I'm stuck up against the clock
I don't really wanna rock tonight
I only wanna keep you right

I don't wanna roll, baby don't wanna roll
I just feel I'm cold like I'm getting old
I don't really wanna roll tonight
I only wanna hold you tight
Please, please don't turn out the light


DRIFTWOOD

everything is open
nothing is set in stone
rivers turn to ocean
oceans tide you home
home is where the heart is
but your heart had to roam
drifting over bridges
never to return
watching bridges burn

[ chorus ]
you're driftwood floating underwater
breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
just driftwood hollow and of no use
waterfalls will find you, bind you,
grind you

nobody is an island
everyone has to go
pillars turn to butter
butterflying low
low is where your heart is
but your heart has to go
drifting under bridges
never with the flow

[ middle 8 ]
and you really didn't think it would happen
but it it really is the end of the line
so I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
but you've been drifting for a long, long time

everywhere there's trouble
nowhere's safe to go
pushes turn to shovels
shoveling the snow
frozen you have chosen
the path you wish to go
drifting now forever
and forever more
until you reach your shore

you're driftwood floating underwater
breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
just driftwood hollow and of no use
waterfalls will find you, bind you,
grind you
and you really didn't think it would happen
but it it really is the end of the line
so I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
but you've been drifting for a long, long time
you've been drifting for a long, long time
you've been drifting for a long, long time
drifting for a long, long time 


THE URGE FOR GOING

I woke up today and found snow perched on the ground
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
So when the leaves were trembling
Frozen trees were standing in a lonely row

I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in

I had a love in summertime with summer-colored skin
And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
But when the sky turned traitor cold
And bully winds did rub their noses in the snow

She got the urge for going and I had to let her go
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter's moving in

The warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
Now all that dies is staying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flurrying and flapping through the naked sky

They got the urge for going
They've got the wings to fly
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
And summertime is falling down and winter's moving in

I'll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And ask her just to stay another month or so

But she got the urge for going
I guess she'll have to go
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter's moving in
And she got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
All my empires are fallen down and winter's moving in


SLIDE SHOW

Today is the day
For dancing and for singing
The birds in the trees and all
The bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
Is bright as bright second light
Is bright oh god I hope I'm alright

Cause I'm gonna cry
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch
'Cause there is no design for life
There's no devil's haircut in my mind
There is not a wonderwall to climb
To climb or step around
But there is a slide show and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind

Today was the day
But only for the first time
Hold on, hold on
Slow down, slow down
You're out of touch
Out of touch

'Cause there is no design for life
There is no devil's haircut in your mind
There is not a wonderwall
To climb or step around
But there is a slidesshow and it's so slow
Flashing through my mind

Today was the day
But only for the first time
I hope it's not the last time
