Crying over nothing lyrics

[Genius Penis]

Hi, trying to lose my poster virginity here so lots of pressure (stop staring!). I was just wondering if someone could clear a misheard lyric up for me. In the chorus of Crying Over Nothing there's a line "There's a sun-kissed cloud over raindog holiday". Well that's what all the lyrics websites say. I've always heard it as "rain drop holiday" or "rained-on holiday". After all, what the hell is a raindog holiday!?

If anybody can clarify I'll be extremely grapefruit. Cheers.

Tom Waits released an album titled raindogs and it includes a song called raindogs..... he described a raindog as a dog you would see huddled in the doorways of New York after a heavy rainfall because the rain has washed away its scent and it cannot find its way back home.

.....that's all I can come up with!!

I think its rain dogged as in the rain just wont go away while on holiday.

Thanks for the Tom Waits info. Rain dogged does seem to make more sense. That's what i'll sing in the shower from now on.

I always heard it as "raindrop holiday" and even when you learn the correct lyrics it's difficult to change what you have sung all those years !

I always thought it was raindog, but after listening to it just, It sounds like rained off.

That's very interesting actually. Love Tom Waits. Like the lyrics of Dylan and, yes, Ginger himself in a way, there's whole worlds of meaning and contemplation there to get lost in.

I've been singing "rained-off" for years, so I hope that's the one.
