there’s an overspill
there’s an oil leak
and your tanker looks like a mountain standing on top of a poisoned creek
and the people are climbing
up to your peak
but there’s nothing waiting at the top, no it’s looking quite bleak
there’s a fog that surrounds
what is left of the dying town
and the water was rising before all the fighting broke out
with the fistfights in water
and the salt on the heath
you wouldn’t be far wrong if you said that this town was the sea
i said the sun doesn’t seem so hot anymore
the trees seem dull, not as bright as before
and the water leaks in through the holes in my shoes
i can’t shake a cold, and I’m always fucking tired
the flood took it all but I’m trying to deny it
and the water leaks in through the holes in you
just play your part
we’ve come this far
guess it’s been hard
but it’s getting better
i said it’s getting better
it can’t be fate
so adjust your tastes
or we can sit and wait
for that something better
i think i’m getting better
i think i’m getting better
i think i’m getting better
i think i’m getting better.
