And time's not the easiest to cheat
The water changes one degree
When will the shiver
Of this river
Turn to sea
The river does no good, no harm
Tempts us like pirates to it's calm
Lover's shanty, devil's psalm
Goddamn this river
And it's shiver
And it's charm
If you've got love's A to Z
Don't go dredging river bed
Use your fins and use your head
This river's hooked the floating dead
Our lives go bounding down the strewn
When will we realise minnow dreams
The frustration eating you and me
Our only wish
To be the fish
That meets the sea
We cannot tell a he or she
But us fish can tell a we
We know the seed we know the tree
When will my conker
Conquer thee
The cheaper woman and myself
We've both got ladders in our tights
When you've been left on the top shelf
You've got those ladders in your sights
Solid Love takes time we all agree And time's not the easiest to cheat The water changes one degree When will the shiver Of this river Turn to sea The river does no good, no harm Tempts us like pirates to it's calm Lover's shanty, devil's psalm Goddamn this river And it's shiver And it's charm If you've got love's A to Z Don't go dredging river bed Use your fins and use your head This river's hooked the floating dead Our lives go bounding down the strewn When will we realise minnow dreams The frustration eating you and me Our only wish To be the fish That meets the sea We cannot tell a he or she But us fish can tell a we We know the seed we know the tree When will my conker Conquer thee The cheaper woman and myself We've both got ladders in our tights When you've been left on the top shelf You've got those ladders in your sights Explain Request ×
