Straight From The Tap
Straight from the French alps in big cargo ships
Don’t drink too much water it’ll go to your hips
Your heart keeps on rhythm even when it skips
You drank every bottle you caught all the drips
But your love, it comes from a glacier
And ten men were killed on the trip
Filtered for purity and flavour
My love comes straight from the tap and the glass has a chip
Oh, one day pollution will spoil every drop
The oceans will motion, the rivers to stop
And when nothing is moving, that last belly flop
Will hurt more than ever, just skin against slop
But your love, it poured out so even
I never went thirsty a day
My love, is hard to believe in
The whole damn ship nearly buckles and tips when it sways
What did I know I knew myself
And I put you up high at the top of the shelf
Oh I catch you down low for the sake of my health
But it isn’t as easy as that
And there isn’t a step you can skip
When the love that you’ve known has gone flat
My love comes straight from the tap and the glass has a chip
My love is just barely wrapped (and the paper is ripped)
My love’s forgotten its lines (it reads from the script)
My love is rotting inside (and the puss starts to drip)
My love is lonely and frozen (an iceberg, adrift)
My love enjoyed the free ride (but it won’t leave a tip)
My love is coated in lies (too greasy to grip)
My love will leave a bad taste (and a sore on your lips)
My love comes straight from the tap
My love comes straight from the tap
My love comes straight from the tap
And the glass has a chip
