Live Performances: Saturday Night Live and many other live shows.  It was often performed on the road as an intro to original version.

Notes:
The original version  was recorded when they were on tour with Lenny Kravitz for a Dutch TV show called The Meter Sessions.  It was released on the UK Change CD.  After Shannon died the remaining members added the extra tracks and released that version on the Nico record.

Christopher:That was from a TV performance in Holland. That was at the point where we had played the song about a zillion times. We just needed a new approach to it. Fake people out a little bit.

Rogers: We recorded it with just acoustic guitars. We went in and did just all kinds of stuff on it. But we were proud of No Rain. To us, it was a miracle it was a success at all.

Lyrics:
All I can say you know my life it's pretty plain
And all that I can do, is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view, but it's not sane
No it's not sane
It's not sane
And I don't understand why I sleep all God damn day
All that I do, is read a book to stay awake
It rips my life away
And it rips my life away
And it will rip your life away
