This Boy Can't Swim

This boy can't swim

He's wearing too many skins

I hope he sinks

Then he'll forget everything

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him

Back in the fold, thick as thieves

They will weigh him down

This boy can't swim

He's carrying too many sins

I hope he sinks

'Til he forgets everything

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him

Back in the fold, good as gold

Who can blame them?

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer

Left at the sides they have long since rejoined him

Back in the fold, thick as thieves

They will weigh him down

This boy is feeling so right

He just can't swim

This boy is feeling so fine

He just can't swim

Don't try to be someone kind

This boy can't swim
