Pulp - Wickerman слова песни

Just behind the station, before you reach the traffic island,
a river runs thru` a concrete channel.
I took you there once; I think it was after the Leadmill.
The water was dirty & smelt of industrialisation
Little mesters coughing their lungs up & globules the colour
of tomato ketchup.
But it flows. Yeah, it flows.
Underneath the city thru` dirty brickwork conduits
Connecting white witches on the Moor with pre-raphaelites down
in Broomhall.
Beneath the old Trebor factory that burnt down in the early seventies.
Leaving an antiquated sweet-shop smell & caverns of nougat & caramel.
Nougat. Yeah, nougat & caramel.
And the river flows on.
Yeah, the river flows on beneath pudgy fifteen-year olds addicted
to coffee whitener
And it finally comes above ground again at Forge Dam: the place
where we first met.

I went there again for old time`s sake
Hoping to find the child`s toy horse ride that played such a
ridiculously tragic tune.
It was still there - but none of the kids seemed interested in
riding on it.
And the cafe was still there too
The same press-in plastic letters on the price list & scuffed
formica-top tables.
I sat as close as possible to the seat where I`d met you that
autumn afternoon.
And then, after what seemed like hours of thinking about it
I finally took your face in my hands & I kissed you for the first time
And a feeling like electricity flowed thru` my whole body.
And I immediately knew that I`d entered a completely different world.
And all the time, in the background, the sound of that ridiculously
heartbreaking child`s ride outside.

At the other end of town the river flows underneath an old railway viaduct
I went there with you once - except you were somebody else -
And we gazed down at the sludgy brown surface of the water together.
Then a passer-by told us that it used to be a local custom to
jump off the viaduct into the river
When coming home from the pub on a Saturday night.
But that this custom had died out when someone jumped
Landed too near to the riverbank
Had sunk in the mud there & drowned before anyone could reach them.
I don`t know if he`d just made the whole story up, but there`s
no way you`d get me to jump off that bridge.
No chance. Never in a million years.

Yeah, a river flows underneath this city
I`d like to go there with you now my pretty & follow it on for
miles & miles, below other people`s ordinary lives.
Occasionally catching a glimpse of the moon, thru` man-hole covers
along the route.
Yeah, it`s dark sometimes but if you hold my hand, I think I know the way.
Oh, this is as far as we got last time
But if we go just another mile we will surface surrounded by
grass & trees & the fly-over that takes the cars to cities.
Buds that explode at the slightest touch, nettles that sting
- but not too much.
I`ve never been past this point, what lies ahead I really could not say.
I used to live just by the river, in a dis-used factory just
off the Wicker
The river flowed by day after day
"One day" I thought, "One day I will follow it" but that day never came
I moved away & lost track but tonight I am thinking about making
my way back.
I may find you there & float on wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take us.
Wherever it wants us to go.
Wherever it wants us to go.
