New River Head
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sun in his cups
Doesn't hear the water rushing
Down on the town
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
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
Snakes in the grass
Sliding through the haunted gardens
Down in the park
Watching as the shadows harden
Left in the road
No-one ever realises
What you once were
Here in your new disguises
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I 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
I don't even see
I'm so involved in what I'm doing
Out of my grip
I'm more concerned with rack or ruin
What I want
Waits unnoticed
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
Time slips away
In this land of lakes and castles
Biding my time
I wrap 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
What I get
Rain in my bed
Yeah I need a New River Head
