New River Head Lyrics & Chords By The Bevis Frond

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 rack or ruin
What I want
Waits unnoticed
And what I get
Rain in my bed
Oh, I need a new river head
Time slips away
In this land of lakes and castles
Biding my time
Closing my eyes
I wrap 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
