Quicksand Paul Heaton (Ft. Rianne Downey)

[Verse 1]
It nails you right down to your seat
The very opposite of wild and free
If you've never been swept off your feet (Yes, this place)
This place is like quicksand
Ever felt like you're goin' somewhere
Strange glue's got you fixed to the chair
Like a tiger cub stuck in a snare
This place is like quicksand

[Pre-Chorus]
Birmingham's Venice, Glasgow's Detroit
Bridlington's Prague by the Sea
Sun's high in sky on English Riviera
The whole world is drinkin' with me

[Chorus]
Between the jukebox and ladies loos
A crazy path nobody would choose
We're on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise
This place is like quicksand

[Verse 2]
Sure, I've been this place before
Keep peepin' in the same old door
Keep stickin' to the same old floor
This place is like quicksand
I'm sat next to the very same bloke
Who's tellin' me the very same joke
Barman has to give me a poke
This place is like quicksand
