Jump in the river written by Alan.s.Robinson Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in When all of your money has gone and you don’t know how to go on When the last precious penny is spent And the pound in your pocket just a weight to know you’ve got it Everybody’s asking for another contribution You try and add it up but there ain’t no solution Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in When your woman turns to you just to say This is the end of the day I’ve given you all that I can Now I want you out the door and don’t come round here anymore You walk around in circles talking nonsense in your head You know you’re going crazy when you could be going mad instead Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in When life feels tight and taunt and you know you’ll never get what you want You know it’s someone else prize You’re not so much an also ran as someone left out on the side You’ll never get to shine you never get to say your lines# You rehearse them all the time but its someone else the camera finds Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in Love is for the lucky kind The people who invariable shine Who stand in a shower in a summer meadow Beside their crock of gold and their very own rainbow Beautiful people are beautiful to see But it’s not so pretty for a full time loser like me Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Walk up to the bank and dive in Jump in the river and swim Jump in the river and swim Weigh down your pockets with the pick of your sorrows Stroll up to the bank and walk right in
