This would not have happened
If I hadn’t missed my plane
I would've been there when they told you
I’m the Rat within the grain
Within this big misunderstanding now
and I’m being misunderstood
I'm thinking someone's trying to fuck with me
And set fire to my wood
I wouldn’t want you to want
To be wanted by me
I wouldn’t want you to worry
That You'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful
And wonderful is true
In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you
It’s a stupid situation now
Where everything goes wrong
If you can't tell if I’m lying
Then you do not belong
In my bed
Go rest your head
Upon the bones of a bigger man
He can cover you with rock wool
And you can close up like a clam
Because I wouldn’t want you to want
To be wanted by me
I wouldn’t want you to worry
You'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful
And wonderful is true
In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you
So go play with your piano
And write a mediocre song
About the shell of mediocrity
And pretend there’s nothing wrong
I never thought
You where a chicken shit
I never thought of you at all
Until you ask me to be part of it
And now you're showing me your wall
I wouldn’t want you to want
To be wanted by me
I wouldn’t want you to worry
You be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful
And wonderful is true
In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you

Review about The Rat Within The Grain incredible | Reviewer: keith | 11/29/2008
Damien rice is one of my favorite song writers today. This song basically proves that he is and has mastered the simple "lyrics and chords" songs with a complexity. Beautiful lyrics with perfect chord placement makes this song simply amazing.

This song is beautiful. Very simple, and very complex at the same time. His melody fits the lyrics beautifully, perfect song.
