	Story Behind the Song This was inspired by stopping the car to listen and watch the rain. The lyrics were finally finished some time later on holiday in Ireland. The whistling hollow synth noise was trying to mimic those hoover tubes you swung round your head to make a noise when you were little. Lyrics Dirty rain In my head I'm in the car Thinking again Feel my eyes slowing down Watching the condensation growing And the raindrops tracing tear-trails On the other side of the windscreen The raindrops magnify an unclear world Dirty rain Is so cold The glass mists With my breathing Slowly breathing I glimpse finger-drawn on the glass A heart-shape It slowly appeared like a ghost In the car alive again Not just in the car In my breath Cocooned again My dreams amiss My view a flat and opaque grey The heart-shaped symbol on the windscreen A silent memory I don't want to keep So I sweep my hand across cold glass And soak my palm with my misted breath I can see the dirt engrained In my loops and whorls Maybe I should fingerprint my dreams Maybe I should fingerprint my dreams Maybe all these thoughts weren't mine at first These fitful views and words Are they yours? Turn the radio on... Static is purest poetry Purest bliss Harsh anguish It says everything you want it to And nothing that you don't want it to Meet you, date you Love you Hate you All the world turning grey It's just the rain that gives your ghost away It's the rain that gives your ghost away
