A Well Beside The River - Skyclad

A Well Beside The River - Skyclad
Written by：Steve Ramsey/Martin Walkyier
A song I dedicate unto those who share my need
To give their all and should they fall
Strive on till they succeed
Though my belly aches with hunger weary limbs tremble and shiver
I'd rather go where waters flow
No well beside the river
It's spur has driven some to hell
On an unbridled desire
No pain no gain
The strongest chain's forged in the hottest fire
I pity you who's eyes so blue have never known ambition
Yet can spit your judgment at me like some crazed despotic queen
This dull existence merely half life a glazed comatose condition
Too scary to try
So born to die sat at your sewing machine
Discontentedly accepting all the world's prepared to give her
It's fate that she stagnates just like a well beside the river
Life's one almighty ducking school we've built with our own hands
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
'Cause either way we're d**ned
I'm so proud to be the tupping fool
Your foul fantastic freak
Least each moment I've spent on this earth was totally unique
So little man with such big plans to stand upon the stage
Why do you squabble in the dirt
You should be reaching for a star
By far the greatest gift that I can give
On making the front page
It is instead of punching faces why not practice your guitar
More beauty has been composed than jealousy can tear and sliver
Wilst troubled waters bubble you're a well beside the river
Life's one almighty ducking school we've built with our own hands
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
'Cause either way we're d**ned
I'm so proud to be the tupping fool
Your foul fantastic freak
Least each moment I've spent on this earth was totally unique
There's a dirty job I've done for all my life without
Time off called being me yeah
Though the hours are long and my pay is poor
I can't resign it's all I'm qualified to be
Life's one almighty ducking school we've built with our own hands
We can swim and burn or sink and drown
'Cause either way we're d**ned
I'm so proud to be the tupping fool
Your foul fantastic freak
Least each moment I've spent on this earth
Was totally unique
Though my belly aches with hunger weary limbs tremble and shiver
I'd rather go where waters flow no well beside the river
