Kevin Coyne - Looking For The River lyrics

Coyne I've been crossing by the river in an anticipatory way I've been searching for the river in an anticipatory way But the river never came to me (x2) Full of tin cans and boots and things Full of thrown away engagement rings Thrown away by errant boys and girls Butcher's meat and sordid Woolworth's pearls I've been crossing by he river, looking for it, full of anticipation I've been crossing by the river full of anticipatory things Men on bicycles and pa**ing vehicles Wheeled up, walled - up feelings under slime Little houses knocked down for the roadway Little ladies being kind to swans Dogs and cats and fat men Lying in the long gra** Little pacemakers on Christmas bikes I've been looking for the river anticipatory in my way I've been looking for the river but the river is far away
