Guess the Fusion Rock Song Lyrics #121

*First line is the artist name. 1972. This artist was born in London after his family was evacuated from Gibraltar during WWII. This was, by far, his biggest hit. The lyrics tell a first-person story of a showbiz aspirant whose attempts to break into entertainment were failures, but who wants to hide that fact from those he had left behind to pursue his dreams. It isn't actually about the weather as it may seem.
