big special - this here ain't water lyrics

[chorus]
this here ain’t water
but it was offered me to drink
when everyone we know is thirsty
what am i to think?
this here ain’t water
but it keeps me off the brink
when everyone you know is thirsty
what am i to drink?

[verse 1]
the rain couldn’t take a hint
the hail came down for days
this here ain’t water son
embrace the malaise
this here ain’t water
just another cup of something
another tantrum beatin’ on the roof
this here ain’t water, son
and nor does it mean anything
heed the word and be the livin’ proof
the sun couldn’t get out of bed
we didn’t see her for weeks
this here ain’t water, son
it’s a whip of shale wind
come to smack the day onto your cheeks
this here ain’t water
just another cup of something
another man painted by his curse
this here ain’t water, son
and nor does it weigh anything
and it will always pull you closer to the earth
[chorus]
this here ain’t water
but it was offered me to drink
when everyone we know is thirsty
what am i to think?
this here ain’t water
but it keeps me off the brink
when everyone you know is thirsty
what am i to drink?

[verse 3]
is it all this weather we’ve been havin’?
is that why everyone seems so blue?
gut me dancing, slidin’ in claret stew
spread in strokes with jiving boots
fuelled on neon fumes
will the gods spare us the weather?
or whoever?
store+bought normans
farm+bred and necked pecking
it’s not their fault, we’re all the same
force+fed and fenced in
it’s like a cult out here
even the lonely ones seem to bow
to something that’s so hard to understand
that keeps us alone and feeds a western right to sadness
howling at the moon for the right to croon
standing on a history of factory fodder
on planned madness
for me sir the floor?
words escape me
has anything ever changed? ever, at all?
[chorus]
this here ain’t water
but it was offered me to drink
when everyone we know is thirsty
what am i to think?
this here ain’t water
but it keeps me off the brink
when everyone you know is thirsty
what am i to drink?
