The Jazz Butcher - Sweet Water

from the album  Waiting For The Love Bus


Candy-coloured miracle
And Chuckie's looking suave beside his flowers.
And Pete could learn to love it here
The buffet doesn't close for hours.

I rode here in the front seat with the window down.
And I can't hear a single thing that anyone says
'Coz it's all in my face and it's all too beautiful.

Oh sweet water sometimes it feels like ancient rome
Oh sweet water I can't believe we're home.

Staring at the cats behind the ironwork and looking for a dime
There are problems in this world I know
But right now none of them are mine.

And Hogey Charmichael never came here Dave.
Havana cigars on the back seat and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh sweet water sometimes it feels like ancient rome
Oh sweet water I can't believe we're home.

At long last person or persons unknown
We don't have to be alone it doesn't have to be a circus.

Oh sweet water sometimes it feels like ancient rome
Oh sweet water I can't believe we're home.
