“Ready For Drowning” is about the Welsh village of Capel Celyn, flooded in 1965 to create a reservoir, Llyn Celyn, in order to supply Liverpool and Wirral with water for industry.

Ready for Drowning Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's a true story said someone to me yesterday
Said he'd heard it in a taxi
Must have had him at my mercy
Drown that poor thing
Put it out of its misery
Condemn it to its future
Deny its history
Deny its history
[Chorus]
So where are we going
We're not ready for drowning
So where are we going
We're not ready for drowning
[Verse 2]
Look through my Venetian blinds
Dusting the past off of my mind
Seeing orange everywhere
I'd go to Patagonia
But it's harder there
I'll do anything to prove I care
Fascinated by good
Destroyed by evil
What is there to believe in
[Chorus]
So where are we going
We're not ready for drowning
So where are we going
We're not ready for drowning
[Bridge]
I will bring the whole edifice
Down on their unworthy heads
[Chorus]
So where are we going
We're not ready for drowning
So where are we going
We are not waving we're drowning
