River splashes against the rocks   And I scale the slope and 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   Swim along without a care   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   Where the drownings are   You see it in the sea   River cool's where I belong      In my Mersey paradise      I want to be   Where the drownings are   You see it in the sea   River cool's where I belong   (Oh yeah)   I want to be   Where the drownings are   You see it in the sea   River cool's where I belong      In my Mersey paradise
