Lyrics
Yesterday I was a young man Searching for my way Not knowing what I wanted Living life from day to day, yeah Till she came along There was nothing but an empty space Not a trace Feels like coloured rain Tastes like coloured rain Bring down coloured rain Rain, oh yeah I can feel those colored changes Going through my mind United with a feeling Bringing love into my eyes, yeah Till she came along There was nothing but an empty space Not a trace Feels like coloured rain, baby Tastes like coloured rain Bring down coloured rain Rain, oh yeah Bring it on down baby I can feel those colored changes Going through my mind United with a feeling Bringing love into my eyes, yeah Till she came along There was nothing but an empty space Not a trace Feels like coloured rain, baby Don't you know it feels like coloured rain Don't you know baby It's not all the time That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah If you love me and you want me to be your man, yeah yeah There's one thing baby Every woman should understand, hmmm Without rain babe Our love will never come to be And if you want my sunshine You've got to accept my hail rain and snow There's one thing baby That I want you to do for me yeah I want you to take our body close I want you to work that up I know Take that coloured rain Bring it down, yeah Bring it on down, yeah Bring it on down, yeah Bring it on down, yeah Bring it on down, yeah Bring down coloured rain
Quotations and trivia
From Melody Maker - July 31, 1976:
"I didn't play the solo when we recorded the basic track, we laid down something like 188 bars open for me to overdub this solo. I had to improvise a solo over exactly 188 bars, to build a solo so that I came out at the end of 188 measures on some climactic note. George had to sit in front of me counting the bars as I played the solo and I tried to reach some peak as he was counting through 185, 186, 1987, 1988! I hated it, I felt very uncomfortable."
