I've got your photograph, the one that you signed
Tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time
Oh, sweetheart who's with you tonight?
Are you there at the roundabouts, down in the park,
where you sneak through the railings,
when it's Locked after dark?
Is she learning the song you taught me at the start?
The one the bells and the banjos played on our hearts

Now the bars are all empty, everybody's gone home
Perhaps I'll walk down the embankment alone
Oh, sweetheart, I'm glad that we met
And that there's jazz in the basement bars
and jewels on chains
'Cause I've drunk too much
and spent too much,
but there's moon on the rainLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Moon On the Rain Lyrics

Jazz in a basement bar, the moon's on the rain
Drunk too much, spent too much, penniless again
Oh, sweetheart, where are you tonight?
I remember when we used to walk by the Thames
The lights on the embankment like jewels on chains
I'll never forget what you said at the start,
you said "I'll put a string of lights
'round your heart"

I've got your photograph, the one that you signed
Tucked in my pocket, all tattered by time
Oh, sweetheart who's with you tonight?
Are you there at the roundabouts, down in the park,
where you sneak through the railings,
when it's Locked after dark?
Is she learning the song you taught me at the start?
The one the bells and the banjos played on our hearts

Now the bars are all empty, everybody's gone home
Perhaps I'll walk down the embankment alone
Oh, sweetheart, I'm glad that we met
And that there's jazz in the basement bars
and jewels on chains
'Cause I've drunk too much
and spent too much,
but there's moon on the rain

Fairground Attraction were a Scottish acoustic pop group from Glasgow, best-known for the hit single "Perfect", and for helping to launch the career of its lead singer, Eddi Reader.

After the usual career-beginning playing in local clubs and pubs, in 1987 Fairground Attraction were signed to RCA, and released their first single, "Perfect", in April 1988. It was an immediate success, reaching number one on the UK singles chart. Their album The First of a Million Kisses was a characteristic blend of folk, jazz, country, and cajun elements (all but one of its songs being written by Mark Nevin). Released in May 1988, it followed the success of "Perfect" by entering the album chart at number three, and rising to number two; it was eventually certified platinum. Three other singles were released from the same album: "Find My Love" (which reached number seven on the UK chart), "A Smile in a Whisper", and "Clare".

At the 1989 Brit Awards "Perfect" won the award for best single, and The First of a Million Kisses won best album.

Although they were popular in European countries, and toured the United States, their main success outside the UK was in Japan, where they toured in 1989 (a tour that produced their only live album, Kawasaki Live in Japan 02.07.89).

In September 1989, however, during the recording of a second album, rumours of arguments circulated, and in January 1990 the rumours were confirmed when the band split up. The album Ay Fond Kiss was released in 1990, and one of its songs, "Walking after Midnight", became their last single. Read more on Last.fm.
