Sitting in the Rain Lyrics

Sitting in the Rain

"Sitting in the Rain" is a parody of overly-sentimental breakup songs ("My mind has ceased to function, I'm supporting its dead weight. My stomach needs its luncheon, but I fear it's just too late") and features Paul Jones of Manfred Mann on harmonica.

In our interview with Radio Stars bassist and songwriter, Martin Gordon, he revealed he had a "soft spot" for "Sitting in the Rain" even though Radio Stars chose not to perform it live: "We performed it once or twice live but it's a fairly minor-keyed piece, and it didn't really work. As we were always keenly pursuing added value, it was unceremoniously dropped from the set."

This song appears on Radio Stars' second album, Holiday Album, which saw the band experiment with a grandiose Pop sound in comparison to their more Punk-orientated debut, Songs for Swinging Lovers. Radio Stars met their demise in 1979 not long after the album was released, mainly owing to a lack of interest, although the original lineup have performed together at several reunion concerts since then.
