lyrics

if you're looking for answers
don't come looking to me
'cos i'm the writer of songs
not the writer of wrongs as you'll see

if you're looking for meanings
i really don't have any
i took all these words
from a rhyming dictionary

and if that ain 't plain
then let me explain

i'm a dreamer
i'm a schemer
of that there's no doubt
the last to admit
i'm the first to sell out
for fame and sex
and cheques full of noughts

'cos i'm only a fish
i'm only a fish
that learnt how to walk

i aimed low in life
yet somehow i still missed
so i got out of business
got busy in politics
now i'm making an issue
of crime these days
whilst making a packet
from legal rackets i play

and if that ain't clear
well listen here

i'm a pervert
perfect at avoiding detection
an upright member
standing for election
i'm slippery and slimy a
nd i just cant get caught

'cos i'm only a fish
i'm only a fish that
learnt how to walk

i'm a faithless fake
preaching religion
based on the gospels
of hate and division
the devil he knows
'cos my soul he's bought

i'm only a fish
i'm only a fish
that learnt how to walk
i learnt how to walk
i learnt how to walk
i'm just a fish
