River valley lyrics

Artist  : Moxy fruvous 
Song : River valley
 
Who will save the river valley? That's my drinking
water
This was once a sacred place, now look at what
we've got here
I'll pretend there isn't any problem, just do my
job
And, if I don't like the standard of living, go
move to Russia...
Me an' Pete went swimming last night, he's my
friend from boy scouts
All the fish were floating upright, we got scared
and we got out
Mother says don't play down where your father
does his job
You know he's got to make a living, or move to
Russia...
        (this is my world, this is my world,
don't let it go away
         is it a crime spending my time dreaming
of yesterday?)
Meet me in the river valley, you could tell me
stories
'Bout a time before pinstripe suits, Dippers,
Grits and Tories
        my mother sang the song her mother taught
her
        we'd be swimming off in cool cool water
        and when she'd call us from the yard
        running home it felt like god...
Is your favourite place controlled by developing
ambitions?
Do you think you'll have some power signing a
petition?
Are you fine with your surroundings? Are they
gonna crumble?
I'm living in the river valley, come and join me
for a tumble?
        high up above, see on the cars along the
viaduct
        from sunrise to the last call - they push
their luck
        but that would be fine
        if the world was yours and you were mine
Who will save the river valley?
Who will save the river valley?
Who will save the river valley?
Who will save the river valley?
