Go-betweens - River Of Money Lyrics
Lyric: grantIt is neither fair nor reasonable to expect sadnessTo confine itself to its causes. like a river in flood,When it subsides and the drowned bodies ofAnimals have been deposited in the treetops, there isAnother kind of damage that takes place beyond the torrent.At first, it seemed as though she had only leftThe room to go into the garden and had been delayed by strayChickens in the corn. then he had thought she mightHave eloped with the rodeo-boy from the neighbouringProperty but it wasnt till one afternoon, when heHad heard guitar playing coming from her room andHad rushed upstairs to confront her and had seenThat it was only the wind in the curtains brushingAgainst the open strings, that he finally knew sheWasnt coming back. he had dealt with the deluge alrightBut the watermark of her leaving was still quite visible.He had resorted to the compass then, thinking thatGeography might rescue him but after one week in theVictorian alps he came back north, realising that snow whichHe had never seen before, was only frozen water.Ill take you to hollywoodIll take you to mexicoIll take you anywhere theRiver of money flows.Ill take you to hollywoodIll take you to mexicoIll take you anywhere theRiver of money flows.But was it really possible for him to cope with theMagnitude of her absence? the snow had failed him.Bottles had almost emptied themselves without effect.The television, a samaritan during other tribulations, hadBeen repossessed. she had left her travelling clockThough thinking it incapable of funcitioning inAnother time-zone; so the long vacant days of expensive sunlightWere filled with the sound of her minutes, with the measuring ofHer hours.
