No hope I'm lost in some old French town Tryin' to ride thumb To Berlin from Calais The truckers, they just laugh and pass So merry on their way Now I'm missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day Lungs choked In bed in Barcelona My mates ask I say that I'm okay The doctor, when he hears my heart He tells me it's in pain Now I'm missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day You think you know it 'Til you're sleepin' in a park You think you know it 'Til they're stealin' your guitar You think you're lonely 'Til you're half a world away And you're missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day Clothes soaked I cry on Curry Mile Beat down Defeated in dismay The Manc boys, they heckle me And send me far astray Now I'm missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day You think you know it 'Til you're sleepin' in a park You think you know it 'Til they're stealin' your guitar You think you're lonely 'Til you're half a world away And you're missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day Dead broke I'm stuck in Southeast London Locked out Beneath clouds so dark and gray I call Jeanne just to talk Although, I don't have much to say Just that I'm missin' sweet Paris on a rainy day
