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

What I get



Rain in my bed

Yeah 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

No-one ever realises

What you once were

Here in your new disguises



What I want

Waits unnoticed

What I get



Rain in my bed

Yeah 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 more concerned with rack or ruin



What I want

Waits unnoticed

What I get



Rain in my bed

Yeah I need a New River Head



Time slips away

In this land of lakes and castles

Biding my time

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

What I get



Rain in my bed

Yeah I need a New River Head
