Lyrics Jimmy Somerville

Jimmy Somerville

But Not Tonight

Oh God, it's raining

But I'm not complaining

It's filling me up

With new life

The stars in the sky

Bring tears to my eyes

They're lighting my way

Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

Just for a day

On a day like today

I'll get away from this

Constant debauchery

The wind in my hair

Makes me so aware

How good it is to live

Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

The moon

Is shining in the sky

Reminding me

Of so many other nights

But they're not like tonight

Oh God, it's raining

And I'm not containing

My pleasure at being

So wet

Here on my own

All on my own

How good it feels to be alone

Tonight

And I haven't felt so alive

In years

The moon

Is shining in the sky

Reminding me

Of so many other nights

When my eyes have been so red

I've been mistaken for dead

But not tonight
