Rob from Amersfoort - How to Stay Afloat

from SpinTunes #16 Round 1 by Spintunes

about

Movie: Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
Scene: Ellen (Gene Tierney) let her husband's disabled brother drown on purpose
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yind84CI1w&ab_channel=classicfilmrules).

lyrics

You swim
But can you ever win
Halfway there
Nobody cares
You’re drowning

You struggle
To survive
You’ve got only
One single life
You’re drowning

How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat

You started
Way from behind
Nobody seems
To really mind

How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat

They just put their sunglasses on
Pretending not to see
They are high and dry
Living carefree

How to stay afloat
How to stay afloat
