作词 : Matthews, Roberts
This boy can't swim 
He's wearing too many skins 
I hope he sinks 
Then he'll forget everything
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 
Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 
Back in the fold, thick as thieves 
They will weigh him down
This boy can't swim 
He's carrying too many sins 
I hope he sinks 
'Til he forgets everything 
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 
Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 
Back in the fold, good as gold 
Who can blame them?
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 
Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him 
Back in the fold, thick as thieves 
They will weigh him down 
This boy is feeling so right
He just can't swim
This boy is feeling so fine
He just can't swim
Don't try to be someone kind
This boy can't swim
