LYRICS
There is such confusion in my mind
To play your illusion is so unkind
I didn’t know who you were this afternoon
You said that it didn’t matter and I’ll see you soon
Standing here in the rain
Maybe the weather will change again
Change again or stay the bleedin’ same
How I met you in the first place I’ll never know
But now I think that I know you you’re telling me to go
You said you’d be back told me to wait here just in case
But then you never arrived and I’m waiting outside your place
There is such confusion in my mind
To play your illusion is so unkind
I didn’t know who you were this afternoon
You said you said that doesn’t matter I’ll see you soon
Standing here in the rain
Maybe the weather will change again
Change again or stay the bleedin’ same
Shame
OVERVIEW
‘In The Rain’ was initially relegated to the 12-inch single of ‘My Girl‘ as an ‘otherwise unavailble track’ but was an overlooked gem, ‘In The Rain’, which shared much of the same air of pathos as the A-side with its tale of being jilted on a date, perhaps accentuated by the fact that Suggs sounded particularly sorry for himself because he was suffering from a cold. Recorded at London’s Basing Street Studios shortly after their first trip to America, its spacious production – awash with studio effects – sounded like a definite step forward, which explains why it was subsequently included on Madness’s second album, Absolutely.
