The River
Lyricist:Paul Heaton, David Rotheray
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 A 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 stream 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
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
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
You've got those ladders in your sights You've got those ladders in your sights You've got those ladders in your sights You've got those ladders in your sights
