This Boy Can't Swim Songtext
von Catatonia

This boy can′t swim, he's wearing too many skins
I hope he sinks, then he′ll forget everything

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side, they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold, thick as thieves, they will weigh him down

This boy can't swim, he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, ′til he forgets everything


Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side, they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold, good as gold, who would blame them?

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side, they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold, thick as thieves, they will weigh him down

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side, they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold, thick as thieves, who would blame them?
