lyrics

Bluebottle in my honey, as I sat down to tea.
He may look like he's in trouble, but he's just doing what comes naturally.
Now you might feel like you want to save him from his sweet, sweet destiny.
It may look like he's drowning
but he's in the lap of luxury.

Our hearts turn to granite, granite turns to clay;
I asked you in to lunch today but you talked a lot and then went away.
How to persuade you to tarry and spend a while with me ?
It may look like I'm drowning
but it's all going swimmingly.

The clock is ticking slowly and my heart is beating fast.
Don't want to have to start to live upon just memories of the past.
I've started singing sentimental songs and laughing nervously.
It may look like I'm drowning, but I'm as happy as could be.

Can't you hear the breakers tonight, rolling into shore.
I lay on my back and watched the stars and then I watched some more
and then I wade into the water and let the tide find my buoyancy.
It may look like I'm drowning
but I'm just floating out to sea.
