Lyrics

[00:05.810] Love takes time we all agree
[00:12.440] And time's not the easiest to cheat
[00:19.250] The water changes one degree
[00:22.880] When will the shiver of this river turn to sea
[00:33.190] The river does no good, no harm
[00:40.250] Tempts us like pirates to it's calm
[00:47.570] A lover's shanty, devil's psalm
[00:51.500] Goddamn this river and it's shiver and it's charm
[01:01.880] If you've got love's A to Z
[01:08.750] Don't go dredging river bed
[01:15.880] Use your fins and use your head
[01:22.690] This river's hooked the floating dead
[01:29.630] Our lives go bounding down the stream
[01:36.880] When will we realise minnow dreams
[01:43.620] The frustration eating you and me
[01:47.420] Our only wish to be the fish that meets the sea
[02:00.910] If you've got love's A to Z
[02:06.370] Don't go dredging river bed
[02:13.180] Use your fins and use your head
[02:20.060] This river's hooked the floating dead
[02:57.950] If you've got love's A to Z
[03:04.010] Don't go dredging river bed
[03:11.950] Use your fins and use your head
[03:17.830] This river's hooked the floating dead
[03:24.700] The cheaper woman and myself
[03:31.790] We've both got ladders in our tights
[03:38.980] When you've been left on the top shelf
[03:46.860] You've got those ladders in your sights
[03:52.980] You've got those ladders in your sights
[04:00.040] You've got those ladders in your sights
