The River Lyrics - Beautiful South

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? 

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 

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

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
