The English Beat - Drowning lyrics

Compromise around the corner Can you hear the accountants call? Could you refuse another dollar? Could you stop yourself from falling? So in between the sleepless nights You dream that you are winning fights But then it happens, dreadful thing A wave appears too big to swim You're drowning, you're drowning Buy a beach before next summer? How do you feel in the morning? If the light's an awful bother I could always close the curtains Just close your eyes and count to ten See if you still remember when Your life seemed easy, you had friends But that was different than that was then You're drowning, you're drowning Round and round and round You're drowning In a frenzy now You're drowning You want fe go in a de ocean, a so me say I saw you drowning in slow motion, and now me learn Far too late to make a commotion Too late for you to show easy motion A say you go down to the bottom Say you can't reach the top Get stuck on the bottom Say you can't reach the top Two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks Say ha ha ha ha ha bad luck! Eh? so ... Tell yourself until you're certain Can you hear the accountants call? You'll buy a beach before next summer Swim away and leave it all So underwater deaf and blind Under such pressures you might find A secret right before the end That makes you want to breathe again You're drowning, you're drowning Round and round and round You're drowning Inner frenzy now you're drowning Round and round and round and round You're drowning, drowning You said you're unhappy And you've taken all these tablets Just turn on the television
