lyrics

SHE WAS ONLY IN IT FOR THE RAIN

she swore out the lights when she said that she was
only in it for the rain / she made of her bed a naive
nativity / just in case it became – just in case / here's
the 1st of many songs you wanted me to write / just
for you I hope to god you like it / it's as pretty as it
is cruel / it’s as pretty as it is cruel / she swore out the
lights when she dammed herself to sleep / her thirteenth
finger my whiskey drink / and she wept at the scene as
the ambulance drove off / come circumference, come
circumstance / here's the 1st of many songs you wanted
me to write / just for you I hope to god you like it
and it may seem pretty cruel but mercy is not my name
and our kids I hope to god you counted them
you’re as pretty as you are cruel
you’re as pretty as you are cruel
you’re as pretty as you are cruel

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 5 fans who also own “She Was Only In It For The Rain”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250

Analphabetapolothology
by Cap'n Jazz

supported by 4 fans who also own “She Was Only In It For The Rain”

Finding these guys in middle school surely helped form my music taste as a whole, and Cap'n Jazz still sound so unique and special to me. So much wonderment, joy, sadness and exploration. I will never get tired of listening to these goofballs squishyfishyfoo
