Mersey Paradise

The Stone Roses

     
River splashes against the rocks
And I scale the 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
She doesn't care for my despair

Or is it me? Am I the one that's wrong?
(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 pins and falling in
With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I

I'll 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 (I want to be)
where the drownings are (drownings are)
You see it in the sea
river cool's where I belong
In my Mersey paradise
