Lyrics:
It's raining again,
I'm hearing its pitter patter down.
It's wet in the street
Reflecting the lights and splashing feet,
Nowhere to go,
And nothing I have to do, have to do.

It's raining again,
I follow the Christmas lights down town.
I'm leaving the flow
Of people walking all around,
Round and round,
I hear the sound of rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

Just walking along,
My clothes are soaked right through to the skin,
I haven't a doubt, that this is what life is all about,
The sun and the rain.
Scraps of paper washing down the drain.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

It's raining again
A crack in the clouds reveals blue skies
I've been feeling so low (low)
But now everything is on my side
The sun and the rain.
Walk with me fill my heart again

I hear the rain falling in my ears
Washing away the weariness like tears.
I can feel my troubles running down,
Disappear into the silent sound.

I feel the rain falling on my face
I can say there is no better place
Than standing up in the falling down
In so much rain I could almost drown.

Do de do do de do do do
Do de do de do de do do do

Ive got cancer and going through chemo at the moment so i need anything to cheer me up and madness hits the spot time and time again and reminds me of better days

I was 12 years old when this song came out. Every Thursday night I would get my tape recorder and put it next to the TV when Top of The Pops was on hoping for the the next Madness song, and yes this was the song I captured with my tape recorder. Next day I would go to school smug as F"?? with my new Madness song, I would play it to my friends over and over again. To this day, Madness is still my home!! Thank you.

My favourite Madness tune! Like someone else has said here in the comments, I also suffer depression and anxiety which really can be debilitating to me 90% of my time (I almost ended things last year), but listening to Madness always cheers me up and brightens my day. This one alone is enough to leave a big smile on my face without me even realising until after the video! So, if the guys ever see this… lads, thank you for everything. You guys do more than you know. ❤️🥲

One of the best English bands ever in my humble opinion

[benedettobruno]

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Madness and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

That opening piano line from Mike Barson is just epic...

One of the best bands to have come out of Britain. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌

[walleyrange]

Because they were always pissing about, I don't think people realised how good Madness were as songwriters. This is an absolute classic!

[ShabaniMan]

Standing up in the falling down. Never needed so much in the Britain of 2024 .🇬🇧👍

[carolineingles]

For the past uh 40 years I have been singing this song every time it rained. In Los Angeles, rain is a delightful novelty

[SeniorSparky]

From Night Boat to Cairo to One Step Beyond to Our House to It Must Be Love to Sun and the Rain...Madness were so versatile and eclectic

[WorldWidePatriots]

I'm 27 and I love Madness. My dad wasn't around much and he's a complete wanker but I am so grateful he introduced me to madness.

[phoboslabsreviews]

A band of musicians whose talents are beyond measure, and hugely entertaining. Glad I grew up listening to the nutty boys.

[kevinmulryne]

I suffer from depression and anxiety too maybe that's why I loved madness, I'm listening to them again after decades and I can hear the meloncholy and the upbeat in sync

[jakeharrison]

One of the most underrated bands ever.

[simonreeves]

1:33 Suggs' head-bobbing/" going downstairs' moves are incredible and also 1:39 close up of band member -absolutely superb😂✅👌 🎵🎶

[LambastMercy]

Charismas morning 2024 and its raining.
I know what I need to listen to.

[Timo-]

The best pop song of all time? It's got everything....a great melody....great lyrics....a great big *thumping* beat....and a great video! What's not to like? It gets my vote! *Madness forever!*

[Greatest]

An absolute classic. You can't help but sing along to this. It makes you happy when you're down. And it makes you ecstatic when you're happy. That's the Joy of Madness.

[loratadine]

Madness were the spiritual heirs to '67 era Small Faces.

[iwanwilliams]

The songs, the videos, the crazy dances, what a genius band!
