Got drenched going to work in Birmingham one day. Thought I might as well look on the bright side, so this came out. Took about 5 minutes to write.

lyrics

I wake in the morning still wearing my clothes
Soaking right through from my head to my toes
Got no recollection of where I have been
The people I spoke to, the places I've seen
My buttons are tight, my shoelaces tied
I guess it's just a guessing game -
I've been sleepwalking in the rain, again.

My family's getting used to it they made no complaint
Just funny looks and sniggering across the breakfast plate
I wring out my shirt, I'm ready for work
I know that I'll be late again
I've been sleepwalking in the rain, again

Oh fate has added one more twist to a suffering somnambulist
That I very rarely suffer if the rain's not in the gutter
I'm half-drowned like Gene Kelly when he''s singing on the Telly

I make it to work and I squelch through the hall
The sun's started shining so I'm having a ball
The big shots are waiting in the conference room
I'm dripping and drying as I make my excuse
The boss has his socks by the window pane
It's just a guess but I would say
He's been sleepwalking in the rain, again

I'm slippin' I'm slidin, I'm drippin' I'm dryin'
To look at me I guess you'd say
He's been sleepwalking in the rain, again.
I'm slippin' I'm slidin, I'm drippin' I'm dryin'
