lyrics

I know nothing
And even less of
How to sing
But what can you do
In the end
When you don't know
Where to begin
What does a fish
know of the waters
In which it swims
Well I couldn't tell ya
With any certainty
But I'm pretty sure he can

Swim with tide and
Romanticise the gloomy skies
Dance beneath the horizon an'
Find a twinkle in your dark blue eyes
In rye suprise, go wonderin'

What can you do
If you don't know how to
Hold a tune
Keep a straight face
Tie your lace or
Play with the spoons
Find and ace
Learn kiss chase
Or play bride and groom
Well I couldn't tell you
With any certainty
But I'm pretty sure you could

Bend and twist, resist
Shape shift into any old fix
Miss the pitfalls and fold
Right into your loving arms
In rye suprise, go wonderin'

What do you do
When the train out of town
Moves too slowly
In status quo
Stuck on the dole
Or just feeling a little bit lonely
Up on the hill
Down in the mill
Or with the one trick ponies
Well I couldn't tell you
With any certainty
But I'm pretty sure you could go

All the way home, down dirty
Dance with the rag and bone man
Arrive with the sunset darlin'
For tomorrow we'll be moving on
In rye suprise, go wonderin'

I know nothing
And even less of
How to sing
But what can you do
In the end
When you don't know
Where to begin
And what does a fish
Know of the water
In which it swims
I couldn't tell you
With any certainty
But I'm pretty sure that he can

Swim with tide and
Romanticise the gloomy skies
Dance beneath the horizon an'
Find a twinkle in your dark blue eyes
In rye suprise, go wonderin'

Tatchell and the Tambourine image

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin. ... more
