It Never Rains Lyrics - Love Over Gold - Dire Straits

I hear the seven deadly sins 

And the terrible twins came to call on you 

The bigger they are babe 

The harder they fall on you 

And you you're always the same you persevere 

On the same old pleasure ground 

Oh and it never rains around here 

It just comes pouring down 

You had no more volunteers 

So you got profiteers for to help you out 

With friends like that babe 

Good friends you had to do without 

And now they've taken the chains and the gears 

From off your merry-go-round 

Oh and it never rains around here 

It just comes pouring down 

And your new romeo 

Was just a gigolo when he let you down 

See the faster they are babe 

The faster they get out of town 

Leaving make up stains and the tears 

Of a clown 

Yes and it never rains around here 

It just comes pouring down 

Oh you were just a roller coaster memory 

I don't know why I was even passing through 

I saw you making a date with destiny 

When he came around here asking after you 

In the shadow of the wheel of fortune 

You're busy trying to clear your name 

You say 'i may be guilty yeah that may be true 

But I'd be lying if I said I was to blame 

See we could have been major contenders 

We never got no money no breaks' 

You've got a list of all the major offenders 

You got a list of all their major mistakes 

And he's just standing on the shadows 

Yes and you smile that come-on smile 

Oh I can still hear you say as clear as the day 

'I'd like to make it worth your while' 

Ah but it's a sad reminder 

When your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent 

And all you've got to give him 

Is the use of your side-show tent 

Yes and that's all that remains of the years 

Spent doing to rounds 

And it never rains around here 

Well it just comes pouring down 

Now you know what they say about beggars 

You can't complain about the rules 

You know what they say about beggars 

You know who's the first to blame his tools 

You never gave a damn about who you pick up 

And leave lying bleeding on the ground 

You screw people over on the way up 

Because you thought that you were never coming down 

And he takes you out in vaudeville valley 

With his hand up smothering your screams 

And he screws you down in tin pan alley 

In the city of a billion dreams
