| Prompt: Right as rain. Write about this term in your Blog entry today. --------- "Right as rain" is a hopeful expression that is usually applied to health. It means something or someone is completely ok, well, or healthy again, especially in the case of recovering from an illness or a bad experience. Charles Dickens's Pickwick Papers uses a different form of this expression: "right as a trivet." It wouldn't surprise me if "right as rain" is the grandchild of that expression since, in England in those times, Dickens's work had infected common speech. There is a farewell-to-a-lover song by Adele with the title Right as Rain. Here are its lyrics. Right as Rain Song by Adele Who wants to be right as rain? It's better when something is wrong You get excitement in your bones And everything you do's a game When night comes and you're on your own You can say I chose to be alone Who wants to be right as rain? It's harder when you're on top 'Cause when hard work don't pay off And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love (of love) Who wants to be riding high When you'll just crumble back on down? You give up everything you are And even then you don't get far They make believe that everything Is exactly what it seems But at least when you're at your worst You know how to feel things See when hard work don't pay off And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love Go ahead and steal my heart To make me cry again 'Cause it will never hurt As much as it did then We were both right And no one had blame But now I give up On this endless game 'Cause who wants to be right as rain? It's better when something is wrong I get excitement in my bones Even though everything's a strain When night comes and I'm on my own You should know I chose to be alone Who wants to be right as rain? It's harder when you're on top 'Cause when hard work don't pay off And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of No room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out And now I've had enough of love, whoa Yeah, enough |
