Chasing Rainbows - Billy Bragg

The wheels have come off again

And the fault is all mine

And there was I thinking

We were doing just fine.

But it hurts me so to hear you say we’d be

Better off apart,

Please don’t let my complacent mind

Belie my loving heart.

You’ve shot me down again

From out of the blue

As there was something

That I was supposed to do

Well there’s just no way that every day

I’ll reach your high benchmark

But don’t let my complacent mind

Belie my loving heart.

I know you think if I just tried

We would never fight at all

But I know there will still be days into which some rain must fall

So I’ll do my best to meet the test

But darling don’t forget

If you go chasing rainbows

Then you’re bound to end up getting wet.

So I’ll do my best to meet the test,

But darling don’t forget

If you go chasing rainbows

Then you’re bound to end up getting wet.

If you go chasing rainbows

You’re bound to end up getting wet.
