Deep Water - The Selecter

I’m in trouble and I’m up to my neck again

Deepwater, deepwater

I’m out of money and it’s banked by the fat fish

Opening and closing their mouths

But there’s no sound in my ears

I never wanted to be in deepwater again

Deepwater, deepwater

Too hard to sleep with my eyes open

Deepwater, deepwater

Crying ice cold tears, a drop in the ocean

Killer sharks watching my every move

Echoes of someone laughing at me

I never wanted to be in deepwater again

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Away, away

Deepwater, deepwater

Drown my sorrows with too many blues

Deepwater, deepwater

Sometimes I’ve had to cast away my pride

Like a prisoner on an island wachin the tide

Cut-off, shut-off, no-one holds the key

I never wanted to be in deepwater again

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Away, away

Deepwater, drifting downstream

Won’t you throw me a rope

Deepwater, fighting the current

Staring at your boat

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Deepwater, drifting miles and miles and miles away

Away, away
