darkandrew Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Having been suitably inspired by the Adele song, I ventured out into the rain on Friday night and attempted to set fire to it. My only achievement was a soggy box of matches and a nasty sniffle. My only conclusion is that despite what Adele is advocating in her song, it is actually impossible to set fire to the rain and I am left feeling somewhat cheated - a feeling I hadn't experienced since I found out that the Beatles didn't actually all live in a yellow submarine. Has anybody else had a similar experience discovering that a song's lyrics are clearly impossible?

cloudburst Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 We thought Nick Lowe would find it therapeutic when we set to his greenhouse with small hammers. However, he was absolutely fuming!
