about

I was trying to write a song with nothing but fish references.

lyrics

This is a song, it won't take too long.
I'll get right to the point:
I was walking along and I saw
the most wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
creature I've seen.
You know what I mean?
Well I think that you do.
You've been down at the end of the line
when they throw you the bait and you swallow it
hook, line and sinker.

Now that you've swallowed truth
it's gets through to you:
you've been named lunch.
And when there's nothing left
take one final breath:
one to live and two to call it a day.

This is a dream, or that's how it seems.
I can't feel the tips of my fingers
they're all hard as a fin and calloused
from being as mad as an eel.
Happy as a clam - that's what I am.
I'm on to you now. I can smell your disease.
And I need you to see:
there's no point to loving half of a man, you know.

Now that the record's straight
and I'm free of bait
let's get it on.
Right before turning in
I breath free again -
once to live and twice to call it a day.

There's plenty of fish in the sea -
there's just none of them swimming to me,.
I'll remember this day
and the one that got away.

This is the plan:
I'll wade like a man until passing me by
is some mystery pike
and I'll call out a name.....
that' distorts on the waves and comes out all wrong.

Then swimming up to you
from the deeper blue....
what to do now?
When you see those eyes
let out bubbly sighs -
one to live and two to fall in love.

There's plenty of fish in the sea -
there's just none of them swimming to me,.
I'll remember this day
and the one that swam my way.
