Why does it always rain on me? - travis (1999)

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by an invisible man
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything's all right
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on....

perfect. these lryics where perfect for the mood of the picture. basically ... read the lyrics. I actually drew the picture and then added the words. I was gonna buy travis' album ... I've not got round it it yet.

this character is beth ----> [link] ... old character of mine ... blah ... she has no real relevence to the picture. but I supose the characters beeing though a lot ... yah know ... getting a boyfriend and then him turning gay ... *its all ~dark-rogues fault*

her clothing style ... hehehe its very based on japanese street fashion. lmao I love it. [link] ... its soooo much fun to draw exciting characters ... punky ones are the best to draw.

I brought another manga today. saiyuki volume 2. people keep trying to get me into it ... I supose the bit 16+ sign on the back didn't help ... I gues I got by the reckomendations cause I don't wanna read mangas with topless women or perverted sex scenes. but this volume just had a bit of bad language, fags and violence ... which I can deal with. my mum on the other hand ... "I thought you promised not to buy these!!!" ... blah ... my dad made me cry in a coffee shop. he keeps bringing up my science grades ... he thinks I don't try hard ... I try a lot harder than most people at school.

dunno what saiyuki is ----> [link] ... the art is beautiful. I don't care much for actually reading the manga ... I brought it for the art ... and that one line I read when I was in the shop that made me laugh


I'd be lieing if I said and weren't big "inspirations" for the style of this picture ... please don't say I'm copying ... my art teacher is bad enough ....

dates drawn: friday 10th - saturday 11th febuary 2006

lmao ... I've just realised this picture took a total of about 10 minutes to draw while I was waiting for my dad to pick me up and take me to youthgroup ... blah ... so much thought went into this though ... I'd been planning it the whole everning. ... the colouring took all of today though.
