The English Beat - Drowning lyrics
Compromise around the corner
 Can you hear the accountants call?
 Could you refuse another dollar?
 Could you stop yourself from falling?
 So in between the sleepless nights
 You dream that you are winning fights
 But then it happens, dreadful thing
 A wave appears too big to swim
 You're drowning, you're drowning.
 Buy a beach before next summer?
 How do you feel in the morning?
 If the light's an awful bother
 I could always close the curtains.
 Just close your eyes and count to ten
 See if you still remember when
 Your life seemed easy, you had friends
 But that was different than that was then
 You're drowning, you're drowning
 Round and round and round
 You're drowning
 In a frenzy now
 You're drowning
 You want fe go in a de ocean, a so me say
 I saw you drowning in slow motion, and now me learn
 Far too late to make a commotion
 Too late for you to show easy motionThe English Beat - Drowning - http://motolyrics.com/the-english-beat/drowning-lyrics.html
 A say you go down to the bottom
 Say you can't reach the top
 Get stuck on the bottom
 Say you can't reach the top
 Two days later say they find you 'pon the rocks
 Say ha ha ha ha ha bad luck!
 Eh? so ...
 Tell yourself until you're certain
 Can you hear the accountants call?
 You'll buy a beach before next summer
 Swim away and leave it all.
 So underwater deaf and blind
 Under such pressures you might find
 A secret right before the end
 That makes you want to breathe again
 You're drowning, you're drowning
 Round and round and round
 You're drowning
 Inner frenzy now you're drowning
 Round and round and round and round
 You're drowning, drowning
 You said you're unhappy
 And you've taken all these tablets
 Just turn on the television
