lyrics

On the idle banks of the River Severn, age five
Caught a glimpse of my future bed
I'd made it myself
So, theory goes, I should lie in it
Knew already I could not stand it

On the bat swarm bend in the River Thames
Sat this close to the blondest picnic
She'd asked me there herself
So, theory goes, I should enjoy it
But I could not stand it

On the pillowed east slope of the gawa Edo
Every red face follows the fall of fireworks
We are in our own world of a thousand million insects
And no part of me can understand it

What brought you along the river?
Like a thick twig through the reeds
So many things, so many things could have delayed you
So, how then?
Why then?
All rivers, all rivers misled us
All rivers, all rivers led me...misled me
All rivers, all rivers, all rivers misled me
