Lyrics:
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me

One of the few metallica songs i actually like. I am a garbage fan. They did it justice. They made it their own. It is unique. I like it.

[OMINOIDmusic]

this is awesome. thanks so much for posting!!!

[acadia]

what is bad about this cover? it sounds fine to me

[МаркЭнтони-ъз]

Both videos of songs "Until it sleeps" and "Only Happy...." - one director is Sam Bayer

[willjamesb]

People here don't understand the concept of c0vers. Is Jimis version of All Along the Watchtower shit too.? Or Nirvanas version of Man Who Sold the World.? Neither of those sound like the original either.

[emanuellandeholm]

No no no, the first "pour" in the chorus should be over a major chord, (c# if I'm not wrong). That's the twist! Modal interchange. It's the song, and he changed it. I'm so mad! :D

[guiverno]

This song and Daria's theme are in my opinion the typical songs of grunge era...

[seanx]

It's a great song and a decent cover. Metallica could do a lot better if he had multiple takes and a studio for a day.

[michellewknz]

It’s rare to hear a bad cover from Metallica, this must be the exception...

[spectorfriend]

Back vocals at the end are awful lol. But I like James interpretation even if it's not perfect. He feels the song.

[freebee]

Ive always loved this song but this just doesnt sound nearly as good as the original.

[JGomezabino]

i love James.. BUT... don't do this song again bro lol

[Jxjzusvsjxoidshsbsjjsjjj]

His voice would be perfect for country, but not for this.

[isaacisaac]

The song doesn't suit him very well, interesting experiment though

[pavelnazarov]

Даже Garbage спеть не могут. Жалкая кавер группа стала. Печаль. Под пиво, и воспоминания о прошлом пойдет. Не более.
