Standing Water

The town of Standing Water Celebrates the coming Of the fifteenth hundredth Asbo supermarket With a DJ from the radio Standing FM - the local anasthetic - On the Brownfield Estate There's a purpose-built health centre, dialysis Now a brand new supermarket In the town of Standing Water A generation's growing up Like newly planted saplings Bending to the breeze Hear the children playing Playing on the playing field Where methane gas seeps silent to the breeze John Paul George and Alan Are writing songs while people sleep John Paul George and Alan Are being different and deep In the town of Standing Water In a basement below a shop Walls lined with mattresses Damp dank mouldy and cold Maybe it's the mould They're breathing black mould Writing tunes that sound like no one else Tascam Portastudio 424 And they sound so good They sound like no one else ever did before John Paul George and Alan Writing songs while people sleep John Paul George and Alan They are different indeed In the town of standing water John Paul George and Alan They're the saving of this town John Paul George and Alan That's the Standing Water Sound The sound, the sound of Standing Water
