by Garbageon Anthology

One of the most recognizable songs by Garbage, “Only Happy When It Rains” was released as the second single to promote Garbage’s self-titled album in the UK.

This song was written somewhat spur-of-the-moment… Read More [Verse 1]

I'm only happy when it rains

I'm only happy when it's complicated

And though I know you can't appreciate it

I'm only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad

Oh why it feels so good to feel so sad

I'm only happy when it rains

[Chorus]

Pour your misery down

Pour your misery down on me

Pour your misery down

Pour your misery down on me

[Verse 2]

I'm only happy when it rains

I feel good when things are goin' wrong

I only listen to the sad, sad songs

I'm only happy when it rains

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

I only smile in the dark

My only comfort is the night gone black

I didn't accidentally tell you that

I'm only happy when it rains

You'll get the message by the time I'm through

When I complain about me and you

I'm only happy when it rains

[Chorus]

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down on me (Pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down (Pour)

[Bridge]

You can keep me company

As long as you don't care

[Verse 4]

I'm only happy when it rains

You wanna hear about my new obsession?

I'm ridin' high upon a deep depression

I'm only happy when it rains

[Outro]

(Pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains

(Pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains

(Pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains

(Pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains

(Pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains

(Pour some misery down on me)
