Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song - Live Lyrics
Artist: Ocean Colour Scene
Album: Live: One For The Road
I see double up ahead Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove And frees an eagle instead It's more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up the road Like the things you found in love are by the way And like to cheat on your soul Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control Before you lie on your bed It's more or less the same as the things that you said Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars And his double It's more or less the same as the things that you said I see trouble up ahead Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun Is where the river runs red I see double - that's my trouble.

About The Riverboat Song
"The Riverboat Song" is a song by British band Ocean Colour Scene. The song is heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin's "Four Sticks", from which it takes its main riff and a number of lyrics. The song is notable in that it is in 6/8 swing time, and not the more common 4/4 time normally used in rock music. The song was popularised by Radio 1 DJ Chris Evans, who played it frequently on his radio shows and to introduce guests on his television programme TFI Friday. As a result, having been released in February 1996, it reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart, paving the way for the success of the next two singles, "You've Got It Bad" (7) and "The Day We Caught the Train" (4) and the album Moseley Shoals. more »
