French - Canada Water lyrics

The books are heavy like stones And when she's finally home She will worry about her ankles He will worry about his teeth The books tell her what her life could be like And that her ankles are perfectly fine He doesn't floss his teeth like he should He'll have dentures when he's thirty-nine She picked a name on the map She made her mind up fast She'll get a bus and a train Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in She bets the water is blue That the sky is too She'll get her traveling shoes Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in She's had enough of the fields There's too much space to get bored Boredom makes suburbia hateful and proud It makes you stupid, so you say it out loud She could live in a street with big iron gates And Parking and CCTV She's in spitting distance of the West End lights And the people are clean, rich and friendly She picked a name on the map She made her mind up fast She'll get a bus and a train Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in She bets the water is blue That the sky is too She'll get her traveling shoes Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in Goddamn the trees Goddamn the leaves Goddamn the Christian faith for making her so lazy The stupid English think they're British The clever English love the French She wants better food, and better s**, and better boyfriends She's got her mind set upon higher things She's got her mind set upon higher things She picked a name on the map She made her mind up fast She'll get a bus and a train Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in She bets the water is blue That the sky is too She'll get her travelling shoes Down to Canada Water She'll jump right in She'll jump right in
