New River Head Lyrics

Sun in his cups, cuffs
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
And what I get

Rain in my bed
Oh, 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, repose
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
Oh, 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 unconcerned with rack or ruin

What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get

Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head

Time slips away
In this land of lakes and castles
Biding my time
Closing my eyes
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
And what I get

Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Oh, I need a new river head
Oh, I need a new river head
