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
