lyrics
HE SPENT TWO YEARS PUTTING THE PIECES
OF HIS MODEL VILLAGE TOGETHER
HIS KIDS MOVED ON AND HIS WIFE WALKED OUT
CLAIMING THAT HE DIDN’T RESPECT HER
HE BUILT A SCHOOL AND A CHURCH AND A LIBRARY
A BRIDGE HELD UP BY SUSPENSION
BUT HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS NAIVE
WHEN I ASKED AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER AGAIN
HE PUT LIGHTS IN EVERY BUILDING
AND IT STARTED TO COME TO LIFE
WHEN HE APPLIED THE FINISHING TOUCHES
TO THE PARADE AND THE BUTCHERS WIFE
SO HE APPLIED FOR AN EXTENSION
READ THE PLANS HIMSELF AND APPROVED
BUT WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR A SECOND TIME
HE CLEARLY HADN’T A CLUE
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER AGAIN
ALL OVER AGAIN … ALLOVER AGAIN
AND THE RAIN CAME AND IT STARTED TO POUR
AND THE WIND HOWLED LIKE NEVER BEFORE
AND IT SWIRLED AND STARTED TO ROAR
AND IT RAZED HIS TINY TOWN TO THE FLOOR
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE RAIN COMES
DOWN DOWN DOWN
WHAT YOU GONNA DO IF IT POURS
DOWN DOWN DOWN
WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WIND HOWLS
NOW NOW NOW
PICK UP THE PIECES AND START ALL OVER

Eggs On Mars are one of the most consistently great bands of recent times with a ramshackle charm all their own. The 2019 album “It Will Be Like It Was” was one of the best of recent times and Brighter Now is shaping up to be the best of 2021.
If you dig Flying Nun, The Pastels, Jad Fair, The Velvets, Beat Happening etc you’ll find plenty to love here. suncharms
Dreamy indie rock a la Duster/Sparklehorse with interesting with dynamic shifts and subtle hooks to keep things moving along. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2024
Just find it so uplifting and really soundtracks my place in life at the moment. Strength of the songs was only magnified seeing them played live at Shiiine On Weekender in 2021. niggle66
