[Chorus
Mummy's in the lake
I said
Mummy's in the lake
I said
Mummy's in the lake
She's slumped underneath the toxins
Mummy's in the lake
[Verse 1
Centered in the south
Across the way from Camden Town
If you are feeling brave enough
I'll show you where she lies
There's no need to bite your tongue
I've seen her many times
But words don't do her justice
So much love in her two eyes
[Verse 2
Snaking through the streets
Revolted at the noise
But when she's tired of criticism
She sleeps beneath the boys
Where chaos can't disturb her peace
The water dulls the cries
I saw her jutting with the tide
She promised she's forever mine
[Chorus
Mummy's in the lake
I said
Mummy's in the lake
I said
Mummy's in the lake
She's slumped underneath the toxins
Mummy's in the lake
I said
Mummy's in the lake
[Verse 3
In water's luring lull
I coax
For the love sucked from the earth's choked throat
The lake
The channel
That channels my woes
[Verse 4
The estuary swept her snug
And though if by me life is tough
But it is so so dull above
She dragged me to her world of love
