This boy can´t swim, he´s wearing too many skins 
I hope he sinks, then he´ll forget everything 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 
Left on the side they have long since rejoined him 
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down 

This boy can´t swim he´s carrying too many sins 
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything 

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together 
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer 
Left on the side they have long since rejoined him 
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down 
[good as gold].. [thick as thieves]
