Oh if you ever find you’re stuck inside again
Just think about the girl who walks out in the rain
She likes to comb her hair and then she walks downstairs
She’ll go out walking in the rain
She likes to tie her hair
So she don’t fall downstairs
She’ll go out walking in the rain
And if you ever feel like life’s returned to sane
Just think of all the cartoon people in your brain.
She likes to comb her hair and then she walks downstairs
She’ll go out walking in the rain
She likes to tie her hair
So she don’t fall downstairs
She’ll go out walking in the rain
And when she does, she knows her life is waterproof
Upon her hood the rain knocks just like on a roof
And when she’s back inside, she loved to be outside
She’s been out walking in the rain
And when she’s dry again and when she’s feeling strange
She’ll go out walking once again
She’s been out walking in the rain

He Sends His Regards

I’m on a disused tennis court, late morning
Rachel and Drew, hardly dressed, take a meal
It’s all white and sunshine and rain and wind
Twenty years into the future.
Behind me where concrete steps should be
He walks through automatic doors with a clunk, silently.
He takes some snaps, his frame is in my focus
A face it has changed
Remembering him young, I remember his name
A face it has changed.
Looking at my eyes, my chest, feet, then nowhere
He says to me:
“Martin Hunt sends his regards.”
Oh, he sends his regards?
From just outside of London to this country estate,
Martin Hunt, he sends his regards.
Old friends. Old friends.
Martin Hunt sends his regards
Oh, he sends his fucking regards
After thirteen years of silence and probes sent to Mars
Martin Hunt finally sends his regards.
