about

A friend of mine made a comment that he dreaded the postman coming to his door. He said he was drowning in debt. It inspired me to write this song.

lyrics

Going Down

By Bill Bates

I’m sinking under water You know I’m in too deep
No chance for relaxation I have no time to sleep
The sharks are out to get me My chances are so slim
I’m sinking under water You know that I cant swim

No hands are there to help me To come to my rescue
I cant seem to find the answer Or where I’m running to
The water is still rising And I’m going down again
I’m sinking under water And you know that I cant swim

I’m going down
Going down
I’m going down again
I’m going down
Going down
I’m going down again

I can hear him coming As he stands outside my door
And I can hear the letters Falling to the floor
The pressure is still rising And I’m doing down again
I'm sinking underwater You know that I cant swim


I’m going down
Going down
I’m going down again
I’m going down
Going down
I’m going down again

about

Bill Bates Royal Leamington Spa, UK

I am a Warwickshire based singer songwriter and I perform my songs in folk clubs and festivals. My songs are (almost) autobiographical and often about the ordinary things in life, such as caravan holidays, recycling and a song about a Mars Bar party (where people are supposed to have took their clothes off!) Some of my songs are funny, other songs are serious; either way I hope you like them! ... more
