Canada Water Lyrics by French

Local Information

0

The books are heavy like stones
And when she's finally home
She will worry about her ankles
He will worry about his teeth
The books tell her what her life could be like
And that her ankles are perfectly fine
He doesn't floss his teeth like he should
He'll have dentures when he's thirty-nine
She picked a name on the map
She made her mind up fast
She'll get a bus and a train
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
She bets the water is blue
That the sky is too
She'll get her traveling shoes
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
She's had enough of the fields
There's too much space to get bored
Boredom makes suburbia hateful and proud
It makes you stupid, so you say it out loud
She could live in a street with big iron gates
And Parking and CCTV
She's in spitting distance of the West End lights
And the people are clean, rich and friendly
She picked a name on the map
She made her mind up fast
She'll get a bus and a train
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
She bets the water is blue
That the sky is too
She'll get her traveling shoes
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
Goddamn the trees
Goddamn the leaves
Goddamn the Christian faith for making her so lazy
The stupid English think they're British
The clever English love the French
She wants better food, and better sex, and better boyfriends
She's got her mind set upon higher things
She's got her mind set upon higher things
She picked a name on the map
She made her mind up fast
She'll get a bus and a train
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
She bets the water is blue
That the sky is too
She'll get her travelling shoes
Down to Canada Water
She'll jump right in
She'll jump right in
