I'm gonna get a bank loan out
And buy a canal boat
We'll have everything
We need as long
As we can stay afloat
And when the water rises
And London is all gone
We'll pail out the water
And we'll put the kettle on

Now we've known for quite
A while that the storm is coming in
We saw it from a mile off
And we did nothing
And now it's getting closer
And the sky's about to break
But no-one's really worried
'Cause they say the news is fake

I'm gonna get a bank loan out
And buy a canal boat
We'll have everything
We need as long
As we can stay afloat
And when the water rises
And London is all gone
We'll pail out the water
And we'll put the kettle on

The river is a highway
And when the banks all burst
We'll sail around the skyscrapers
Like it was written in verse
And the fish will all come back
To life and we'll catch
Them with a line
And we'll cook 'em on a fire
Made of driftwood that we find

I'm gonna get a bank loan out
And buy a canal boat
We'll have everything
We need as long
As we can stay afloat
And when the water rises
And London is all gone
We'll pail out the water
Nd we'll put the kettle on

We'll moor upon the shard my friend
And gaze up at the stars
We'll use our phones as hammers
For all the good they are
And when we aren't connected
We will finally be free
And you'll see you
For what you are
And I'll see me for me

I'm gonna get a bank loan out
And buy a canal boat
We'll have everything
We need as long
As we can stay afloat
And when the water rises
And London is all gone
We'll pail out the water
And we'll put the kettle on

Now I've been trying
To cut my heating bill
I've got 3 blankets on the go
And I shop at the local market
'Cause I'm a hipster don't you know
I'm not trying to be cool my friend
I'm just trying to do my best
And that's all that can be asked of us
And we can't do nothing about the rest

I'm gonna get a bank loan out
And buy a canal boat
We'll have everything
We need as long
As we can stay afloat
And when the water rises
And London is all gone
We'll pail out the water
And we'll put the kettle on
