At the River Lyrics

Cover art for At the River lyrics by Groove Armada

The vocals are a sample from a late-50s pop song called "Old Cape Cod" (nothing to do with a river!) recorded by multi-track legend Patti Page - she was one of the first artists to record all her own backing vocals. The first two verses go:

If you’re fond of sand dunes and salty air, Quaint little villages here and there, You’re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew, Served by a window with an ocean view, You’re sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod.

So now you know. Mmmm. Lobster stew...
