New River Head
Sun in his cups, doesn’t hear the water rushing
Down on the town, he stands in his beetle crushing boots
In his hand, a record by the undecided
One out of one, multiplied and then divided
What I want, waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Gonna’ need a new river head
Snakes in the grass, sliding through the Hornsey gardens
Down in the park, watching as the shadows harden
Left in the road, no one ever realizes
What you once were, here in your new disguises
What I want, waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Gonna’ need a new river head
Dead or asleep, it doesn’t really matter to me
Here in my world, step inside and walk right through me
Don’t even see, I’m so involved in what I’m doing
Out of my grip, I’m unconcerned with wreck or ruin
What I want, waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Gonna’ need a new river head
Time floats away, in this land of lakes and castles
Closing my eyes, I pack it up in paper parcels
Deep in the ground, all your sorry sisters flowing
Woven in lead, with little specks of silver showing
What I want, waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Gonna’ need a new river head
What I want, waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Gonna’ need a new river head
