Love takes time we all agree

And times not the easiest to cheat

The water changes one degree

When will this 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 loves A to Z

Don’t do dredging river bed

Use your feet 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 women and myself

We’ve both got ladders in our tights

When you’ve been left on the top shelf

You got those ladders I your sights
