Love takes time we all agree
And times 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 its calm
A lovers shanty, devils psalm
Goddamn this river and its shiver and its charm
If youve got loves A to Z
Dont go dredging river bed
Use your fins and use your head
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?
If youve got loves A to Z
Dont go dredging river bed
Use your fins and use your head
The cheaper woman and myself
Weve both got ladders in our tights
When youve been left on the top shelf
Youve got those ladders in your sights
If youve got loves A to Z
Dont go dredging river bed
Use your fins and use your head
The cheaper woman and myself
Weve both got ladders in our tights
When youve been left on the top shelf
Youve got those ladders in your sights
Youve got those ladders in your sights
Youve got those ladders in your sights
Youve got those ladders in your sights
Youve got those ladders in your sights
