A Well Beside the River lyrics

A song I dedicate unto those who share my need
To give their all and should they fall, strive until 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 scared 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 damned
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
Whilst 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 damned
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
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 damned
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
