evening quiz

Quiz: Can you finish these lyrics in songs about rain?

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s been some rain today.

THE SUMMER IS well and truly over – if there was even much of one to begin with.

Rain has poured across the country today, and showers are forecast during the rest of the week.

Instead of (or as well as) lamenting the weather, take this quiz on how well you know these songs about rain and finish the lyrics.

Now that it's raining more than ever...

Vevo

Please get under my umbrella

Told you I'll be here forever

It'll keep raining til forever

Told you I'd follow you wherever

I set fire to the rain, watched it pour...

as I hid my face

as I kissed your face

as I burned in shame

as I touched your face

If the rain comes...

They slip into the shade

They pull up their hoods

They run and hide their heads

They find their own fun

I can make it through the rain...

I can stand up once again on my own

I can find my own way through the dark

I can make a sun of my own

I can keep myself from getting soaked

Humidity is rising...

The ocean's getting low

The thunder's rolling low

Barometer's getting low

The street's the place to go

Talk to the wind, talk to the sky...

Talk to the girl with the rain in her eyes

Talk to the sun, ask it to shine

Talk to the rain as it falls from high

Talk to the man with the reasons why

One late rainy night I got a phone call

And I said we should just be friends

So I went back to see her again

And it rang louder than the hailstones

And she said this should be the end

Rain on me, rain, rain / I'd rather be dry...

Interscope Records

But I know the sun'll shine

But at least I look fine

But at least I'm alive

But I know it's time

Let the rain fall down...

Hollywood Records, Inc.

and wake my dreams

and wash over me

I need it please

I need the peace
