The more I read, the more complicated the process of reading gets. It's... hard to explain. Never mind.
I think these should be the confirmed lyrics for the first two verses of the new 'In the Rain':
The tyres kick up sprays of water
Illuminated by eyes from behind
But no, these eyes don't see
So I'll stay on the path in this cold, clammy comfort
Well I've been walking for an hour
Just following the cracks in the ground
The puddles change shapes like clouds
Nothing can disturb this peaceful silence
Compare this to the original, 2000 version?
In the rain
I'm walking down the street
Down the lane
There's nobody I meet
In the rain
Step by step I walk
Hoping for
Someone with whom I can talk
I didn't realise it's almost a decade! Fogey! Fogey!
