Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks

And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't

Lead me down to dark black pits or

Places where we fall to bits

If she were there

I'd hold her down

I'll push her under while she drowns

And couldn't breathe and claw for air

She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me?

I'm the one that's wrong?

You see it in the sea

River cools where

I belong In my

Mersey paradise

As I stare an oil wheel comes

Sailing by and

I feel like

Growing fins and falling in

With the bricks the bags the rusty tin

I swim along without a care

I'm eating sand when

I need air

You can bet your life

I'll meet a pike who'll

Wolf me down for tea tonight

I want to be (I want to be)

Where the drownings are

You see in this heat

River cools where

I belong In my

Mersey paradise

I want to be (I want to be)

Where the drownings are

You see in this heat

River cools where

I belong Oh yeah

I want to be (I want to be)

Where the drownings are

You see in this heat

River cools where

I belong In my

Mersey paradise
