Lyrics
I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down (Pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me

Pour your misery down
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me

Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me

Genius Lyrics
I didn't accidentally tell you that / I'm only happy when it rains / You'll get the message by the time I'm through / When I complain about me and you / I'm only happy when it rains
As Shirley Manson put it: “Only Happy When It Rains” is about wanting love but knowing life will always get in the way…. yet not being obliterated by that. It’s a song for people that know what it is like to live on the dark side of life. It’s about devotion but a different kind. A devotion to the truth and to freedom… and to hell with the consequences.

So I work at staying patient / Good things come to those that wait / Or so they say
As a result of her lack of perspective of her life, Shirley just tries to follow the advices of her friends and of people she deems to be wiser: to wait and be more patient with herself. However, the line “Or so they say” expressed a veiled disbelief in what people suggest her to do. No matter how hard she tries, she just thinks she’s wasting her time.
