Plenty is a 1985 British drama film directed by Fred Schepisi and starring Meryl Streep. It was adapted from David Hare's play of the same name.
Spanning nearly 20 years from the early 1940s to the 1960s, the plot focuses on Susan Traherne, an Englishwoman who is irreparably changed by her experiences as a fighter for the French Resistance during World War II when she has a one-night stand with a British intelligence agent. After the war ends, Susan returns to England and becomes determined to make a life for herself by achieving what she wishes in the post-war world which, after her time away, she finds trivial and inadequate, while acting with complete disregard for everybody around her.
Ullman and Gielgud were nominated for BAFTA Awards, and Gielgud was named Best Supporting Actor by both the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics.
When it rains it rains plenty
I think you need to walk
I think you need to walk home
We don't need to talk
I think you need to walk home
Sun shines on my skin
Rips my head right off
It's burning it's burning it's burning (tears right through)
I can see all the veins in my lids when I close my eyes
Now I can see right through (all of you)
I can't complain about the same (hi hi hi)
When i'm sitting alone (some people think)
Reading a book at home (they know what heat is)
And it seems like such a waste
And it seems like such a shame
Always
Slamming overhead (hurting my hands)
Against the same fucking wall
I don't need no razors
'Cause summer is cutting me again
I don't need no razors
'Cause summer is cutting me again
I don't need no razors
'Cause summer is cutting me again
I don't need no razors
'Cause summer is cutting me again
I don't need no razors
