    Lyrics:
    I see double up ahead
    Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
    Is where the river runs red
    Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove
    And frees an eagle instead
    It's more or less the same as the things that you said
    I see trouble up the road
    Like the things you found in love are by the way
    And like to cheat on your soul
    Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control
    Before you lie on your bed
    It's more or less the same as the things that you said
    Anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
    Anyway for all the things you said tell me why does the river run red
    Anyway for all the things you've seen tell me when will the river run green
    And anyway for all the things you know tell me why does the river not flow
    It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble
    Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars
    And his double
    It's more or less the same as the things that you said
    I see trouble up ahead
    Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun
    Is where the river runs red
    I see double - that's my trouble

    By far the best thing about Ocean colour scene is that they were a 90s band but their songs could fit into any decade of music

      Agreed! I used to love watching _TFI Friday_ with this belter at the start. ‘Brit Pop’ (which was mainly ace indie music) and _Trainspotting_ made being a teen in the 90s amazing. Wish I could go back!

    Saw Paul Jones and the Manfreds a week ago on Isle of Wight , where brilliant but also reminded me how much Ocean Colour Scene sound like them, I saw OCS concert when this song was out and remember it as one of best concerts have ever see and have been to many many over the years.

    A perfect example of what made 'the 60s and 70s so great. This has a good riff, good sound.. but there's just this one riff that goes on and on. They had half of a 3 minute song here. Does the album have a stack of better songs than this on it?
