This one supposed to be the first in Liquid Songs series, but heavy amount of rain in last few weeks moved it to second place…
Tired of being the good cop
I’m gonna do what I please
Don’t hand me any more allegations
Of misconduct or sanction me
I got the world in my hands
Can make it rain or flood
I’ve got my fingers in all the pots
And toxic waste in my blood
In my bloodDon’t try to look away
Or stop me in my path
I make the law and I decree
A new kind of wrathWhenever I want, whatever I need
Wherever I go don’t stop me
Whenever I want, whatever I need
If you try to resist or put up a fight
I’ll take you and the whole world with me
You and the whole world with me
I’ll take you and the whole world with meI’ll pick your pocket in plain daylight
And no one move a muscle
I got my eye on the prize
You’re drowning in your liesYou and the whole world with me
I’ll take you and the whole world with me
I’ll take you and the whole world with me
I’ll take you and the whole world with meWriter(s): Joseph G. Burns

I fell like a dove into the desert
Barely breathing my tears built an ocean
I was out on the levee, I was out on the levee
When I lost my self into the water, into the water, into the water
They came at night and said to me
To rest is forbidden
You must move or drown away
I was out on the jetty, I was out on the jetty
When I lost myself into the water, into the water, into the water
I’ll be alive
I’ll squeeze through the light
I fell like a dove into the desert
Barely breathing my tears filled the ocean
I was out on the levee, I was out on the levee
When I lost my self into the water, into the water, into the water,
Into the water, into the water, into the water, into the waterWriter(s): Jenkins Paul Arthur / Christensen Toby Nathaniel

Swim out to the ocean
Drown your thought out at sea
And dip your hands in the water
The same deep water as meYou’ve been watching for cloudbursts
I’ve been praying for rain
Drench your soul in the water
Cleanse your heart of the stain
Cleanse your heart of the stainThe river of love
It flows deep through the night
It rolls you in with the waves
It drags you out with the tidesYou’ve been watching for cloudbursts
You’ve been praying for rain
Drench your soul in the water
Cleanse your heart of the stain
Cleanse your heart of the stainSwim out to the ocean
And drown our thoughts out at sea
And dipped your hands in the water
The same deep water as meWriter(s): Andrew Hargreaves / John Bramwell / Peter Jobson

And how enormously
The planets they have tugged on thee
But they do it to us all
The universe gets tough and small
So dubbin up your boots
Make sure you’re waterproof
And fasten up your coat
The weather it brings change
The wind it brings us change and blowsAnd how predictable
That it should tumble in this way
And
We even saw it come
And getting closer every day
And then it lifted off the roof
No longer waterproof
The rain it tumbling in
Another storm begins
Another storm of love and truthSo dubbin up your boots
Make sure you’re waterproof
And fasten up your coat
The weather it brings change
The wind it brings us change and blowsAlbum: Wriggle Out the Restless

They came down from the mountain
They strayed too long from the fountain
And all the while
All the while they longed for usBut I won’t betray you
I won’t betray you
I won’t betray you
I won’t
No I won’t betray you
No I won’t betray you
No I won’t betray you
I won’t
Till the water’s all goneAnd you, my sweet flower
And how you grew more sweet by the hour
And loathe was I
Loathe was I to lose you
My tender rose
My limber rose
My slender loving daughter
My tender rose
My limber rose
My slender loving daughterTill the water’s all gone
They came down from the mountain
They strayed too long from the fountain
Oh my girl, oh my love I’ve lost youBut I won’t betray you
I won’t betray you
I won’t betray you
I won’t
No I won’t betray you
No I won’t betray you
No I won’t betray you
I won’t
Till the water’s all goneWriter(s): Colin Meloy

You’re standing by the grey ice water
Out in the wind above ground out in the weather
You had yourself a crazy lover
Becoming frozen trying hard to forget her
You got a job up in Alaska
To save what the cannery pays
There ain’t no way to spend it
On a boat, it’s a fish trap
You took the path of least resistance
On the phone cutting out talking
Short to long distance
You’re standing by the grey ice waterOut in the wind above ground out in the water
You had yourself a crazy lover
Become unfrozen trying hard to forget herYou got a job up in Alaska
To save what the cannery pays
There ain’t no way to spend it

Oh I got a feeling
And it’s shaking in me now
I don’t know the reason whyOh I got a feeling
And it’s burning in me bright
Burns me a hole straight through all of my heartSo I went down to the riverside
And I lay down there for hoursAnd I jumped into the rivers hands
As it washed away our heartsAnd it shines so bright
And helps me to measure when there ain’t any light
And it shines so bright
And helps me to measure when there ain’t any lightWriter(s): Angell Simon T, Kuster Robbie Andrew, Stein Mikhail, Watson Patrick

When I’m home
There is nothing I’m looking for
That you haven’t already found
When I’m home
In the shallow water
You can swim around me
I won’t mindCircling me underneath
The only one I’ll ever need
As I’m moving in your sleep
And I wish I knew what you were watchingWhen everything was quiet for a while
There’s nothing left for us to reconcile
When everything was quiet for a while
I’ll meet you in the shallow waterI’m a fool
But at least you’re foolish too
You’re my crutch
But it’s you that helps me to walkDrowning in a coral sea
The only place I’ll ever be
As I’m moving in your sleep
And I wish I knew what you were watchingWhen everything was quiet for a while
There’s nothing left for us to reconcile
When everything was quiet for a while
I’ll meet you in the shallow waterWriter(s): John Alexander Tatum / Jorge Elbrecht

Kiss me goodbye, pushing out before I sleep
Can’t you see I try?
But swimming the same deep water as you is hard
‘The shallow drowned lose less than we,’ you breathe
The strangest twist upon your lips
And we shall be together
And we shall be togetherKiss me goodbye, bow your head, and join with me
And face pushed deep, reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips
And disappear, the ripples clear
And softly breaks against your feet
Softly breaks the mirror sweet
So we shall be together
So we shall be togetherKiss me goodbye, pushing out before I sleep
It’s lower now, and slower now
The strangest twist upon your lips
But I don’t see, and I don’t feel
But softly hold up silently
My hands, before my fading eyes
And in my eyes your smile
The very last thing before I go
The very last thing before I go
The very last thing before I goI will kiss you, I will kiss you
I will kiss you forever on nights like this
I will kiss you, I will kiss you
And we shall be togetherWriter(s): Boris Williams / Laurence Andrew Tolhurst / Porl Thompson / Robert James Smith / Roger O’Donnell / Simon Gallup

In the water, they sort it out
They were waist to neck in December somehow
In the water, they twist and shout
They were born again, so they can start living now
In the water, they saw the face
Of the man who was haunted, chained and disgraced
In the water, they asked them both
“How did you get the gold without digging any holes?”Never had it any other way
Drowning in the grace
Never had a chance to break apart our heart for them to see
It’s really a disgrace“Hide your daughters”, the old men say
You were young once before, you know how we get our way
Feel the horror with no delay
We all see what once was beautiful has turned and old and greyNever had it any other way
Drowning in the grace
Never had a chance to break apart our heart for them to see
It’s really a disgraceI can’t fake it enough
Can’t say it enough
Can’t do it enough
I can’t make it enough
Can’t fake it enough
I don’t want it enough
So everyone’ll waitNever had it any other way
Drowning in the grace
Never had a chance to break apart our heart for them to see
It’s really a disgraceI can’t say it enough
Can’t sing it enough
So I’ll find another wayAnd we sing this morning that wonderful and grand ol’ message
And I don’t know about you but I never get tired of it
