A LOTTA RAIN IS FALLIN’
©Trev Teasdel June / July 1970 Coventry
A lotta rain is fallin’ but the earth has moved aside
There’s a lotta bullets flying but the victim’s found somewhere to hide.
There’s a lotta rivers flowin’ but the sea’s learned how to fly.
There’s a lotta clouds a wondering which rockets nicked the sky.
Cos the roads are moving fast but the cars are standing still
And so much is happening, yet nothin’s ever done
Oh we want to see the light but we’re dazzled by the sun.
(Bridge)
And some people’s only sunshine
Is their Cornflakes in the morning time
And the age of Instant sunshine, in packets bright and gay
I know will be dawning, in some future day.
There’s a lotta tears a fallin’ and more are being cried.
There’s a lotta people trampled on as man takes another stride.
There’s a lotta smoke arising but the sky’s learned how to swim
There’s a lotta faces smiling but their hearts are feeling grim.
Cos a lotta tension’s forming and the bag’s about to burst
There’s gotta be an answer cos the world is getting worse.
A lotta help is needed to get that truck back on the road
Cos too many people are pullin’ too heavier a load.
(Bridge repeated)
