lirik lagu judge smith – not drowning but waving
she says she can’t sleep on her own
she means that she can’t leave men alone
so des and den and nige and bri
all spend her money and make her cry
her lovers come and go too fast
each more unsuitable than the last
her friends think she is all at sea
they speak of rescue and tragedy
don’t they understand
she don’t need saving
she’s not far from land
not drowning but waving
george couldn’t cope with being adult
and so he joined a religious cult
he knows the guru’s always right
and he only sleeps for four hours a night
he sells the pamphlets, eats the rice
a happy certainty in his eyes
his mother’s hired a special man
and they’ll deprogram him if they can
hey, ma…though your boy’s jumped ship
he don’t need saving
just taking a dip
not drowning but waving…
they don’t need saving…
not drowning but waving…
scotch whiskey was the thing for jim
he said it thoroughly suited him
he found it kept the world away
so he drank a pint~and~a~half each day
we all grew worried for his health
we said “you must not destroy yourself”
but when he hears that kind of thing
he jumps on the table, raises his glass
and then he starts to sing
and he says…
please don’t man the boat
i don’t need saving
i keep well afloat
not drowning but waving
don’t they understand
i say we don’t need saving
we’re not far from land
we’re not drowning but waving
