You'll Have to Swim Lyrics
Early one morning as I went walking down by the filthy canal
One hundred skull angels came crashing around me, their wings all set to flames,
Crying out for sanctuary from all that they had seen.
I said "how can I help you myself, I've been burning here for 35 years?"
Walk on, soul's gone, sailing seas of heartache.
Float on, boat's gone, you'll have to swim all the way.
And so I live a lonely life, there is no one by my side, there is nothing left down here for me.
And so I live a lonely life, there is no one by my side, there is nothing left down here for me.
And I would never change a single fucking thing despite the fact I know the brutal vicious end,
I still would have kissed you that day.
I'll watch you burn
Watch you burn
watch you burn...
And so I keep walking down by the canal that never ends.
Too many people are still breathing and I'm a coward for not ending them.
Walk on, soul's gone, sailing seas of heartache.
Float on, boat's gone, you'll have to swim all the way.

Along with my "One Bedroom Apartment" my fav Clann Zú track. You really have to get the demo version of both songs, although not so good quality, I think they are better than the album versions.
