     Rain bird dives throught the hole
     In a broken guitar

     Rain Bird / Rain Bird

     Rain bird swoops through the
     Chimney pots and rain
     Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
     Hiding in the spotlights
     Of a famous stage

     F#7(add B)                        - stick again
     He tries to become invisible
                                  F#
     Whilst stealing the front page

                                       - restart A(add B) sequence
     Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird

     F#
     When you were a boy
                 Bsus2
     You used to wish for this
                  F#
     But like the cat who turns his nose
     Bsus2
     Up at the dish
     F#                    Bsus2
     Now that you have it
     You want to give it away

                                     - no chord
     When you had to work so hard
     Slogging for a pittance
     In a boot and shoe yard
 
     F#                     Bsus2
     That's when you wanted
     What you now give away
     
      F#       Bsus2      E          - no lyrics

                                     - repeat A(add B) sequence
     Rain Bird
     You're all the rage, bird
     Rain Bird
     You're all the rage, bird
                                     - end on F#
     -David J

Love And Rockets--Rain Bird (with lyrics)
Rain bird dives throught the hole In a broken guitar Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue Like a stranded insect Stuck in a bowl of glue He tries to fly But he will die If he ever leaves the zoo Rain Bird / Rain Bird Rain bird swoops through the Chimney pots and rain Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage Hiding in the spotlights Of a famous stage He tries to become invisible Whilst stealing the front page Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird When you were a boy You used to wish for this But like the cat who turns his nose Up at the dish Now that you have it You want to give it away When you had to work so hard Slogging for a pittance In a boot and shoe yard That's when you wanted What you now give away Rain Bird You're all the rage, bird Rain Bird You're all the rage, bird

Favorite Openers #1 Love and Rockets - Holiday on the Moon
Love and Rockets - Holiday on the Moon A great song opening. Approaching from space is the rapid sine-wave guitar signal. Approaching, arriving, ascending, and finally descending in a huge space-glam riff! Good stuff!!!! Images are of Octopi and Cuttlefish. Quite possibly the greatest animals on this planet! Cuddle the cuttle!
