Why Does it Always Rain on Me?
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 invisible men
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 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
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
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
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on...

專輯介紹
1997年以全英Top 10專輯“Good Feeling( 好感覺)”打響知名度,並因之廣受好評的四人搖滾組合Travis,在他們首次出擊之時即獲得好采頭,不但選自該專輯中的單曲「More Than Us」一舉打入Top 16,整張專輯前後還總計產生了五首Top 40單曲,足見他們可愛的親和力已然獲得許多聽眾的喜愛。在他們的首張專輯中,Travis以輕鬆寫意的態度演出結合 民謠、搖滾與流行音樂的首首佳作,尤其是甚受本地聽眾歡迎的「All I Want To Do Is Rock」,營造出他們在樂迷們心目中可愛大男孩的形象;而在經過兩年的歷練之後,Travis在本張最新專輯“The Man Who”里轉趨成熟抒情的走向,則更令人感動於他們的成長與更形內斂的深沉情感。目前此專輯榮膺專輯榜T04,並創下百萬張銷售佳績,更上一籌獲選Select雜誌99年度最佳專輯(Album Of The Year)。
獲得榮耀
本張專輯標題名稱源於Oliver Sachs所著的一本描述精神分裂症的書“The Man Who Mistakes His Wife For A Hat”的前三個字,主唱Fran解釋道,會以這本書做為新專輯標題的取樣對象,是因為在第一張專輯推出後,有些樂評說他們多變的特性就音樂上而言,好像得了精神分裂症,於是他們就選擇以這本書做為新專輯的標題名稱來源。雖然專輯名稱顯示了樂團一貫的 幽默感,但整張專輯所呈現出的風格其實是偏向較憂鬱的抒情走向的。首支單曲「Writing To Reach You」首周進榜即獲全英Top 14,描述心神相契的戀情透過Fran乾淨的嗓音,詮釋出甘醇而深情的感動;「Driftwood」一曲的 民謠編曲,加上穿插其中的提琴演奏,蕩漾著復古的情懷與清新的感受,躍上單曲榜Top13;「Luv」的真心至情也藉由吉他的撥弄與口琴的曳行,划進聽者心房;而”Why Does It Always rain On Me”不但登上排行Top10,並被Q雜誌年終樂評評為99年最佳單曲(Best Single 1999);最新單曲”Turn”再創新高一舉獲得Top8席次。每一首歌曲都深深打動人心的這張專輯,讓Travis以另一番純情面貌再度進占樂迷的心。
