The Stone Roses - Mersey Paradise lyrics

rate me

River splashes against the rocks<br />

And I scale the slope and hope the tracks won't<br />

Lead me down to dark black pits or<br />

Places where we fall to bits<br />

If she were there I'd hold her down<br />

I'll push her under while she drowns and<br />

Couldn't breathe and call for air<br />

She doesn't care for my despair<br />

<br />

Or is it me?<br />

Or the one that's wrong<br />

You see it in the sea<br />

River cool's where I belong<br />

<br />

In my Mersey paradise<br />

<br />

As I stare an oil wheel comes<br />

Sailing by and I feel like<br />

Growing fins and falling in<br />

With the bricks, the bikes, the rusty tin I<br />

Swim along without a care<br />

I'll eating sand when I need air you can<br />

Bet your life I'll meet a Pike who'll<br />

Wolf me down for tea tonight<br />

<br />

I want to be<br />

Where the drownings are<br />

You see it in the sea<br />

River cool's where I belong<br />

<br />

In my Mersey paradise<br />

<br />

I want to be<br />

Where the drownings are<br />

You see it in the sea<br />

River cool's where I belong<br />

(Oh yeah)<br />

I want to be<br />

Where the drownings are<br />

You see it in the sea<br />

River cool's where I belong<br />

<br />

In my Mersey paradise

<br />
