  • It was a filthy block of flats
    Trash was on the floor
    A stink was in my nose
    Hinges off the doors

    She took me in her room
    All was spic and span
    Fixed me up a drink
    Turned down all the lamps

    And the rain fell down
    On the cold hard ground
    And the phone kept ringing
    And we made sweet love

    Follow it up in this strange grey town
    They build it up and let it all fall down
    Feel like we're living in a battleground
    Everybody's jazzed

    Follow it up in this strange grey town
    The paint is peeling and the sky turned brown
    The bankers are wankers, every Thursday night
    They just vomit on that ground

    And the rain fell down
    The cold grey town
    And the phone kept ringing
    And we made sweet love
    We made sweet love

    Everybody's dreaming
    Everybody's scheming
    Until the rain falls down

    She cooked me up some eggs
    Then she made some tea
    Kissed me on the cheek
    And I turned on her TV

    It was all the usual crap
    All the usual sleaze
    For two thousand quid
    Some bimbo spilled the beans, yeah

    And the rain fell down
    On the cold grey town
    And the phone kept ringing
    And we made sweet love

    And the rain fell down
    And we made, and we made, and we made sweet love
    And the phone kept, the phone kept ringing, yeah!

    Yeah
    And the phone kept ringing
    The phone kept ringing, yeah
    And the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain Writer/s: KEITH RICHARDS, MICK JAGGER
