    (LYRICS)
    -
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it was offered me to drink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - think?
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it keeps me off the brink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - drink?
    -
    The rain couldn't take a hint
    The hail came down for days
    This here ain't water son
    Embrace the malaise
    This here ain't water
    Just another cup of something
    Another tantrum beating on the roof
    This here ain't water son
    And nor does it mean anything
    Heed the word
    And be the living proof
    -
    The sun couldn't get out of bed
    We didn't see her for weeks
    This here ain't water, son
    It's a whip of shale wind
    Come to smack the day onto your cheeks
    This here ain't water
    Just another cup of something
    Another man painted by his curse
    This here ain't water son
    And nor does it weigh anything
    But it will always pull you closer to the earth
    -
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it was offered me to drink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - think?
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it keeps me off the brink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - drink?
    -
    Is it all this weather we’ve been having?
    Is that why everyone seems so blue?
    Gut me dancing
    Sliding in Claret stew
    Spread in strokes
    With Jiving boots
    Fueld on neon fumes
    Will the gods spare us the weather?
    Or whoever?
    Store-bought Normans
    Farm-bred and necked pecking
    It's not their fault
    We're all the same
    Force-fed and fenced in
    It's like a cult out here
    Even the lonely ones seem to bow
    To something that's so hard to understand
    That keeps us alone and
    Feeds a western right to sadness
    Howling at the moon for the right to croon
    Standing on a history of factory fodder
    On planned madness
    For me sir the floor?
    Words escape me
    Has anything ever changed? Ever, at all?
    -
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it was offered me to drink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - think?
    This - here - ain't - water!
    But it keeps me off the brink
    When everyone you know is thirsty
    What - am - I - to - drink?

      I feel it's very disrespectful to describe artists as a mix of other artists. That said, you also need a pinch of Sleaford Mods.

    Probably the best tune of the year ruined slightly by a personal drama outside of my control back home whilst I was at one of their gigs recently. I'll tell everyone about it one day. This tune will always remind me of it now. Will be making me cry in a few years time once the drama is all but a distant memory..... xx
