Fear Of Drowning Lyrics
Jesus fucking Christ, oh god no!
From the moment that you realise
Most of this Isn't real
To the moment that you decide
Shall we go out tonight
And we'll swim from these island shores
Till there's a fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
Oh little England
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully
(So beautifully)
Ah
And all the money in the world
Won't help you now
The only way is down
And you know from way out here
There is a little fear
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
Oh little England
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
How long has it been
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully
Oh little England
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully
Most of this Isn't real
To the moment that you decide
Shall we go out tonight
And we'll swim from these island shores
Till there's a fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully
(So beautifully)
Won't help you now
The only way is down
And you know from way out here
There is a little fear
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
A little old fear of drowning
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
How long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully
Tonight I'll swim
From my favourite island shore
And how long has it been
Since you have seen so beautifully

I really like the gasping air noises when he says "A little old fear of drowning".
The sudden guitar noise sounds like the Wedding Present.
Also sounds like Echo & The Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon"... I just listened to that song.
Can't believe that so few people realise how important a bad British Sea Power are. This song and this album are incredible, DO YOU LIKE ROCK MUSIC? is very good too, 'no lucifer' in particular, but musically this 'decline' is a cut above- relevant, poignant and vital.
