Around the Plynth lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woken up on mornings such as this
Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
Got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon, but then again I might
Water down the drain, I'm wasting away
Doctors can't help the ghost of a man, that's me

[Verse 3]
Water down the drain goes to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by
No, no, no, no, no (Woo!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I never found out the reason why
My parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
Or from my hometown I was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin' by homemade law
I never knew what it was to be late
My mind was never this way
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be late
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved, no, no, no
[Instrumental Outro]
