Raincheck On Sunset Street

from Blue Snakes by Villareal

/

about

Aaaah 'Raincheck'... Not long after I wrote this one of my fave bands SHACK released a great song called 'Cup Of Tea' from their wonderful 'On The Corner of Miles and Gil' album. Oddly, 'Cup Of Tea' had a VERY similar melody to my 'Raincheck on Sunset Street' (in the chorus) so everybody naturally assumed I'd stolen it.
But i hadn't...i PROMISE.

lyrics

I know what they know
But i refuse to show my hand at this time
I go where they go
But I walk a different side of the line

I take what they take
But it leaves me feeling dead to this world
I feel the blue snakes
And sense that they've got no place to go

Chorus

It's like writing all your thoughts on the back of a stamp
And mailing to the wrong address
Packing all your things in the back of a car
And driving over Beachy Head

So now when they call
I leave them standing out in the street
It's you and that's all
You made me smile through tears and defeat

Repeat Chorus

Why don't we take a raincheck on Sunset Street?

Why don't we take a raincheck on Sunset Street?
We could take the weight off-feel complete

Why don't we take a raincheck on Sunset Street?
We could leave those past times buried deep

Why don't we take...

(Words & Music Simon Parker)
