about

This song was written before I came to Spain, back when I was living in Japan (1996-2000). However, I was never entirely happy with the lyrics and structure. Then one day, I met my dog Brownie, who is also nicknamed ¨Drainpipe¨ since he was an abandoned dog we rescued and who had been living in the countryside on his own for several years and therefore ¨sleeping in a drainpipe¨ at night. Going back over the lyrics and making a few changes, the song began to make a lot more sense.

lyrics

DRAINPIPE

Big white desert across the sky
Yellow moon drink it down
A fleeting moment, so hard to describe
Picks you up when you´re feeling down

Then the man comes and takes it all away
Then the man comes and he takes it all away

CHORUS
I've been freed today
All my troubles they´ve
Disappeared and evaporated
I'm so glad to stay with you, oh happy days
Now that you're here
To take it all away

Big white rabbit under your tree
Taking pictures from magazines
In the drainpipe, it's so hard to believe
That it all comes from a machine

Then the man comes and takes it all away
Then the man comes and he takes it all away

I've been freed today
All my troubles they´ve
Disappeared and evaporated
I'm so glad to stay with you, oh happy days
Now that you're here
To take it all away

Big white desert under the stars
Yellow moon sinking down
But in the drainpipe, they're playing their guitars
To pick them up when they´re feeling down

Then the man comes and takes it all away
Then the man comes and he takes it all away

I've been freed today
All my troubles they´ve
Disappeared and evaporated
I'm so glad to stay with you, oh happy days
Now that you're here
To take it all away

I've been freed today
All my troubles they´ve
Disappeared and evaporated
I'm so glad to stay with you, oh happy days
Now that you're here
To take it all away
