I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog. I drink Campari with marinated wild hog. I've no sense, I like electric fence. I put barbed wire in my pants and do a celtic dance.
But when I can, I'm a giving man. I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the frying pan.
And if you're down looking like you're gonna drown. Of all your friends I'm the one who's most apt to stick around.
I'm a drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this dirty drowning man.
You're so fine, so bright and shiney fine. And I'm so proud to say that you in fact are a friend of mine. And doubly pleased with crooked wobbly knees. I dive on in and backstroke right across these seas of cheese.
But on the times when I'm not such a giving man. Please flip me out of the fire and backup into the frying pan.

He's sinking faster than a drowning man He grab a hold of anyone he can gun in is pocket and a heart of ham Uncle Sam He's dying faster than a rabid dog infect us all now he's losing blood Nose for trouble and a soul of rock Smokey's man Don't drag me down, I don't wanna drown you're going down yeah
There's not much flesh just skull and bone cheeks sunk deep Eyes poppin wide don't put out a hand to help him This drowning man will bite it right off, right off, right off, right off, right off Don't drag me down I don't wanna drown you're going down going down
He's selling faster than a magazine infect us all with his TV screen He's selling faster than a magazine infect us all with his TV screen He's selling faster than a magazine infect us all with his TV screen He's selling faster than a magazine infect us all with his TV screen You're going down Going down going
You push me when I'm falling And then you put me down I guess I missed my calling I should have been a clown How much more How much more can I stand You're pouring water On a drowning man
You put me on the right track And then you put me down You stab me in the back Everytime I turn around
Criticize my lovin' When I'm doing the very best I can You're pouring water On a drowning man You're pouring water On a drowning man You treat me like The fool that I am You bet that I like everything you do Put salt in my wounds It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kisses Then you leave me in the cold How can I know your wishes When I've never been told Won't you please forgive me Just try and understand You're pouring water On a drowning man
You're pouring water On a drowning man You treat me like The fool that I am You bet that I like everything you do Put salt in my wounds It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kisses Then you leave me in the cold How can I know your wishes When I've never been told Won't you please forgive me Just try and understand You're pouring water On a poor drowning man
I got tears in my eyes Oh, I'm a drowning man I got tears in my eyes You're pouring water On a drowing man You're pouring water On a poor drowning man
She stands twelve feet above the flood She stares Alone Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly Fills her frozen body Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die The memories fade And leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn But final Noiseless Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows Receives her And drowns her at its ease Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes So many years ago So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true I wish it couldn't be a story The words all left me Lifeless Hoping Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia You leave me Breathing like the drowning man

DIRTY DROWNING MAN
I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog.
I drink Campari with marinated wild hog.
I've no sense, I like electric fence.
I put barbed wire in my pants and do a celtic dance.
But when I can, I'm a giving man.
I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the frying pan.
And if you're down looking like you're gonna drown.
Of all your friends I'm the one who's most apt to stick around.
I'm a drowning man.
Who will save this drowning man.

He's sinking faster than a drowning man

He's dying faster than a rabid dog infect us all now he's losing blood
Nose for trouble and a soul of rock Smokey's man
Don't drag me down, I don't wanna drown you're going down yeah
There's not much flesh just skull and bone cheeks sunk deep
Eyes poppin wide don't put out a hand to help him
This drowning man will bite it right off, right off, right off, right off, right off
Don't drag me down I don't wanna drown you're going down going down

DURAN DURAN
POURING WATER ON A DROWNING MAN
You push me when I'm falling
And then you put me down
I guess I missed my calling
I should have been a clown
How much more
How much more can I stand
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You put me on the right track
And then you put me down
You stab me in the back
Everytime I turn around
Criticize my lovin'
When I'm doing the very best I can
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You treat me like
The fool that I am
You bet that I like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I've never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You're pouring water
On a drowning man
You treat me like
The fool that I am
You bet that I like everything you do
Put salt in my wounds
It's sad but it's true
You warm me with your kisses
Then you leave me in the cold
How can I know your wishes
When I've never been told
Won't you please forgive me
Just try and understand
You're pouring water
On a poor drowning man
I got tears in my eyes
Oh, I'm a drowning man
I got tears in my eyes
You're pouring water
On a drowing man
You're pouring water
On a poor drowning man
ELVIS COSTELLO
THE DROWNING MAN
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
THE CURE
