River splashes against the rocks
And I scale a slope I 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 call for air
She doesn't care for my despair
Or is it me?
Or the one that's wrong
You see it in the sea
River cool's 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 bikes, the rusty tin I'll
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
Where the drownings are
You see it in the sea
River cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise

  • Reni can drum like no one else, and has some of the best backing vocals, criminally underated

  • MANCHESTER NA NA NA

  • @carlos7217 did she run into Noel?

  • 20 thumbs up!

    

  • And which 2 pricks disliked it? How and why?

  • It's just one of those tracks where you have to listen to it again to check if it was that good or you'd imagined it.

    Legends.

  • @ lazyitus, u want to sell that video??... just got a ticket for the sat at manchester!!! buzzin doesnt come close!!!!

  • It's about drowning a girl that doesn't love you back, based on a true story that happened at the Mersey River behind the house Ian grew up in.

  • welcome to the empress ballroom, would you like a flashlight?

  • I have this concert video on tape. I've watched it at least 100 times!

    God I wish Reni had played live 2nd Coming!
