New River Head

Sun in his cups, cuffs

Doesn't hear the water rushing

Down on the town

Stands in his beetle crushing

Boots in his hand

A record by The Undecided

One out of one

Multiplied and then divided

What I want

Waits unnoticed

And what I get

Rain in my bed

Oh, I need a new river head

Snakes in the grass

Sliding through the haunted gardens

Down in the park

Watching as the shadows harden

Left in the road, repose

No-one ever realizes

What you once were

Here in your new disguises

What I want

Waits unnoticed

And what I get

Rain in my bed

Oh, I need a new river head

Dead or asleep

It doesn't really matter to me

Here in my world

Step inside

And walk right through me

I don't even see

I'm so involved in what I'm doing

Out of my grip

I'm unconcerned with wrack or ruin

What I want

Waits unnoticed

And what I get

Rain in my bed

Oh, I need a new river head

Time floats away

In this land of lakes and castles

Closing my eyes

I pack it up in paper parcels

Deep in the ground

All your sorry sisters flowing

Woven in lead

With little specks of silver showing

What I want

Waits unnoticed

And what I get

Rain in my bed

Oh, I need a new river head

Oh, I need a new river head

Oh, I need a new river head
