Six Feet Under Water
Written: 1974
Writers: David Jenneson, Alan Hovden, Peter Sinclair
Status: Recorded but unpublished.
Genre and Style: Rock ballad.
Comments: Dave: Six Feet Under Water is catchy, driving, haunted with feeling and has a rare simple elegance. First recorded by The Hans Staymer Band in 1974, it was overproduced and much of that feeling was lost. It was later recorded by the Alan Harlow band in a version much truer to the original and this is by far the superior interpretation.
I don’t know if I can hold it inside any longer
I don’t know if this feeling can get any stronger
It’s like the kind of a death
Where you’re right out of breath
Six feet
Six feet under water.
You know she’s cruel, uh huh
And I will never, never rise up again
You know she’s cruel, uh huh
And I will never, never rise up again
I’ve been told that I’d never be able to keep her
Tried to hold her but she only keeps pulling me deeper
It’s like my pride is a crown
And it’s driving me down
Six feet
Six feet under water
You know she’s cruel, uh huh
And I will never, never rise up again
You know she’s cruel, uh huh
And I will never, never rise up again
In a note I told her meet me down by the river
If she showed it was only to stand there and shiver
Because the chances are small
She heard me at all
Six feet
Six feet under water
You know she’s cruel, uh huh
And I will never, never rise up again
You know she’s cruel
And I will never, never rise up again
