G|----10------11---8---6---5---3----10---------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------|

and in the end these chords are played:

D|--6-6-6-6---10-10---3-3-3-3------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|

until now, these were the only things I could recognize to play on the guitar
listen to the song when these pieces are played, at the end all together, so at
least with three guitars, if you don't have a keyboard. for the bass-lines, look
at my other tab, whose very easy.
Placebo rocks!!!!

I think it's about being bored or sexualy frustrated "Always stays the same, nothing ever changes" seems to refer to monotomous boredom and receinving nothing new. The rain, I believe, refers to sex, and its stereotypical that it it always rains in England and is absolutly freezing and uncomfortable and stays the same.

I agree that this song is about someone in love yet who is not noticed by this person. At the same, the "always stays the same, nothing changes" line make me think of the repetition of life.. how days often blur into one long repetition. Just as English weather always stays the same ie. rain, this person's life doesn't seem to be offering anything new or interesting. We all know that feeling of being fed up, opening the curtains and seeing that the sky is grey and overcast.. again

I like this song ... a lot. Well, it may be because of a "special" relationsship to Placebo-songs and me ... To me it has so many meanings ... I agree on the love thing ... but couldn't it also be about just failing in life? I mean it sounds like the person's always falling deeper ... and the hole doesn't hace a bottom ... does anyone get what I mean? There's no limitation going down

two people so very far away he wishes they were closer..or he just came up with some cool lines and compiled them into a song not all songs have meanings...
