The Beautiful South - Let Go with the Flow lyrics

The superfly guy that you're courting now Used to be a super-swot And the clothes he thinks look retro Are more 'Land That Time Forgot' And if he knows where he was standing When J.F.K was shot Chances are though time's pa**ed him by He's still standing within yards of that spot So if your hangover feels like the dart board Whilst the Christians hit bulls-eye And paranoia that self-employer Is following in heavy disguise Off goes intelligence to join high tide To drift with all the things we let go Only tidal wave could possibly save All we let go with the flow Let go with the flow Books we may have written, we don't know Let go with the flow Some enchanted city we wont go He who used to float like a bu*terfly once Is floating like a glorious moth And the flygirls you hung around with then Are lucky if they even take off Dresses and skirts you thought were in Everyone a dust-rag or dishcloth Like every flat beer that they serve around here We all start life as fabulous froth So why do you work yourself that hard When you don't even like the job? Why do you hate the small-time thief When it's your own time you'll always rob? Off goes intelligence to join high tide To drift with all the things we let go Only tidal wave could possibly save All we let go with the flow Let go with the flow Books we may have written, we don't know Let go with the flow Some enchanted city we wont go
