We Want to Recruit You
The rain is beginning to fall
From San Francisco to Minnesota
From your flat to mine
And it's in all the shop windows on Castro
The rain is beginning to fall
From San Francisco to Minnesota
From your flat to mine
And with short hair and pretty suits
Or battered jumpers and tight jeans
We walk these streets of our own
To the Anitas and Bricks
We sing this is 1978
You can keep frowning on us
But it's much too late
To re-organize your blessed witch-chase
There is hope in every rainbow
It's gonna rain again tomorrow
And Milk gave us a home
So out of the corners we come
And you have always known us
So see, we're no enemy of the family,
We have a microphone from the union, this is 1978
And we are going to stay
We have a microphone from the union
And we want to recruit you
As the rain is beginning to fall
From San Francisco to Minnesota
From your flat to mine
still need to check the year/names again, so excuse me if they're incorrect. and go see "milk" if you haven't yet :D
cheers,

"The rain is beginning to fall

Immediately reminded me of my favorite Yoko Ono song (is there such a thing? :shock: ) by way of a band called
Galaxie 500, a song called: Listen Snow is Falling
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town,
Listen the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Between empire state building
And between trafalgar square.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town,
Listen the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Between your bed and mine,
Between your head and my mind.
Listen, the snow is falling o'er town.
Between tokyo and paris,
Between london and dallas,
Between your love and mine.
Listen, the snow is falling ev'rywhere.
Snowfling, snowfall, snowfall,
Listen, listen,
Listen, baby,
Listen
If you don't know the song, def. check into the Galaxie 500 version.... I think you'd really like the group as a whole, Anne.
Great lyrics, as usual :D
