River - Blueboy

I can forget my loneliness by chewing gum

Stumble into several arms and strip away the day’s decay

Sadness is a way of life for bitter me

But don’t you quote me the prophets

'Cause I know it’s wrong

But it’s not for long

If I had eyes like river would you take some notice of me?

If I had lips like river would you talk to me?

Now I walk the streets of London

And I look around at the people rushing by

Where do they go, do they even know?

I hear they staple sequins to their sooty souls

Just to tempt this acolyte from his real world

His only world

If I had eyes like river

Would you take some notice of me?

If I had lips like river would you talk to me now?

Talk to me now

Talk to me now

Talk to me now
