Swimming Under the Ice (1994)

 An ancient Vaffan Coulo song - but I like the words so nyurks.


They engineered it again,

so they had the last line.

"You can change the world like you can change the weather,

so just eat your idiot pie, and wash it down with scum wine,

and forget the end of your tether."


But,

They don't tell you that there's others around

Who don't want to live life underground

Please join us, because you know we love you -

You're beautiful, so let your light shine,

Tell me of your dreams, and you can share all of mine

And maybe, just maybe,

we can make it

Together.


Just don't follow the lie,

And say "everything's fine"

While your hopes and your trust float away on a feather.

They'll betray your soul, make swiss-cheese of your mind,

Plant a dopey grin on your face just for cover.


But,

They don't tell you that there's others alive

Who don't want to live their life under ice,

we got warm arms, an embrace for a brother -

There's thousands of us, it's a silent attack,

So put your ear to the ice, I think it's going to crack

Just maybe, just maybe,

We can crack it

Together.
