lyrics

Jimmy Biggs - Right Across It

This sort of scupper shouts for a note -
A report to rupture those rats on parole
But brought out in cups; spat from the moats –
And the water’s up, but I’ve got a boat.

Because the water’s aflame
The big honour came,
Same as the day that we first spoke its name
And here in the sewer
We cloy for the cure
His name’s not the same. It’s never been truer.

Says the man with the frown- “no tact nor fun in
Whether Stetson or crown, the fact is it plunges
Into the depths of the town, fat from its munches.
Never look down, nor back to that dungeon.”

Because the water’s aflame
The big honour came,
Same as the day that we first spoke its name
And here in the sewer
We cloy for the cure
His name’s not the same. It’s never been truer.

I thought of my fold
It’s not a complete loss, it’s
(Just alright)
The water’s so cold
You can walk right across it

Because the water’s aflame
The big honour came,
Same as the day that we first spoke its name
And here in the sewer
We cloy for the cure
His name’s not the same. It’s never been truer.
