Quicksand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It nails you right down to your seat The very opposite of wild and free If you've never been swept off your feet (Yes, this place) This place is like quicksand Ever felt like you're goin' somewhere Strange glue's got you fixed to the chair Like a tiger cub stuck in a snare This place is like quicksand [Pre-Chorus] Birmingham's Venice, Glasgow's Detroit Bridlington's Prague by the Sea Sun's high in sky on English Riviera The whole world is drinkin' with me [Chorus] Between the jukebox and ladies loos A crazy path nobody would choose We're on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise This place is like quicksand [Verse 2] Sure, I've been this place before Keep peepin' in the same old door Keep stickin' to the same old floor This place is like quicksand I'm sat next to the very same bloke Who's tellin' me the very same joke Barman has to give me a poke This place is like quicksand [Pre-Chorus] Coventry's Paris, Bristol's Madrid Southend's our own St Tropez I've been to every one but only in spirit And we're drinkin' our way there today [Chorus] Between the jukebox and ladies loos A crazy path nobody would choose We're on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise This place is like quicksand [Bridge] We're Laurence Foxs, We're Right Said Freds Devoid of soul, but high on meds Buy your shoes from Benson's for Beds This place is like quicksand We're fuckwits, we're idiots But, God, we're strong Our feet are stuck, but our reach is long We're trapped and scared, but we're singin' this song This place is like quicksand [Chorus] Between the jukebox and ladies loos A crazy path nobody would choose We're on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise This place is like quicksand
