	Our 'alternative' alternative song. A happy sort of tune about killing someone you love. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and some first class lyrics make this an enjoyable trip to 'The River' with 'Fletch' for everyone but those in the song. Forget fishing, there's only one reason to visit 'The River' this year.

	Story Behind the Song Guitar riff had a different kind of feel to it which we all instantly loved. Kept the rhythm section to the point and tried to let the lyrics do the talking. Personally I'd like to add more harmonies and possible some strings into this tune at a later date but on a budget the best we could manage was borrowing an electric-acoustic guitar. The reason we're all still smiling is because they haven't found the body yet....(joke) Lyrics The River --------- Verse She said take me back to the river, From the signs that you read And these things in my head That I think you should know, I'll tell you now 'cause I want to, 'Cause I want you. You’ve got to take me back to the water, What she said when we met I could never forget Now I need her to know, How feel when I'm down there, When I'm down there. Chorus Well I know by now, I think I know by now. Verse She had to take me back to the river, All The things that I know In the current below Can't help anymore, I do this now 'cause I love her, 'Cause I love her. She stood staring down at the water, From this moment we see We can never be free There's no hope anymore, I do this now 'cause you want it 'Cause you want me. Chorus I think I know by now, Well I should know by now. Verse She asked to be one with the river, I can't understand She could never have planned It's gone on for too long, I think I'll know when I see her, When I see her. She said that she wanted the water, The cold rushing flow And the current below It means nothing to me, I'm here 'cause I want to be near her, To be near her. Chorus I think I know by now, Well I should know by now. Put my hands on your head, Pushing down and you are left for dead. Verse Now I'm looking down at the river, All the pain from before Its not there anymore As she floats by me, She's happy now in the water, In the water. She said take me back to the river, All the things that she said And the things in her head They mean nothing now, She's happy now in the water, In the water. Chorus I think she knows by now Well she should know by now.
