This Boy Can't Swim Lyrics - Catatonia

This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins 

I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 

Left on the side they have long since rejoined him 

Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down 

2nd verse (chords as above) 

This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins 

I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything 

2nd chorus 

'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'
