The Light

Many Fish To Fry

Lyrics

I wanna share a little lesson i learned about 25 years too late
There’s more to honesty than telling the truth
And sometimes I don’t talk straight

You see I tend to run and hide
But I’m gonna bring me back to the light
Don’t wanna slip out into the night
I’m gonna bring me back

Well I’m fairly messy
I pick my nose
I like Rubik’s cubes
I like barbershop quartets

Still live at home with mum and M-Dog
I like cake I don’t believe in regrets

You see i tend to run and hide
So you gotta bring me back to the light
Don’t let me slip out into the night
Don’t let me keep it all inside
You gotta show me up to the light… Read the rest

Lyrics

I been busy hitting targets working overtime
If you could just give me a little raise
(no-oh)
Lose my job lose my job look for another job
Sir I can promise X, Y and Z
(Uh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah you can count on me
(Uh-oh-oh-oh)

Feet don’t fail me now

Growing up pain growing up growing pains
What are you wearing to the party tonight
(I don’t know)
Teacher says it’s time to choose what I wanna be
I gotta choice of X, Y and Z
(Uh-oh-oh-oh)
What do I wanna be?
(Uh-oh-oh-oh)

Feet don’t fail me now

Get a girl lose a girl find another girl
Settle down and borrow 10 times my wage
(Uh-oh)
Baby cry baby cry why does baby cry
If you try X and Y I’ll try…
Uh-oh-oh-oh what do you want from me?
There’s never time never time there’s never time for me
There’s … Read the rest

I Saw Something

Many Fish To Fry

Lyrics

Do I drive too fast for you?
Do you need the loo?
Then why with the face?
I think she’d be into you
If you told the truth
But I know that you know that I know that you won’t
Even if she’d stay
Even if it made her stay

I saw something
In the clouds
I saw something
And it reminded it reminded me of you

Maybe this cider counts towards my five-a-day
We’re all in a field of cow poo
And I’m playing songs with Tom McQ
Do you know his tunes?
Well I know that you know
That you’ll think you know them
Even if you don’t
Even if you don’t

I saw something
In the clouds
I saw something
And it reminded it reminded me of you

Oh no well how was I to know
If you don’t
If you don’t tell
Then how was … Read the rest

Reeling

Lyrics

I arrived as they left
We laughed at my phone
I was late I always am
I lose track of time

Later on when its dark
There’s wine on my shoe
Think its time to call you up
Tell all that I know

And I’m reeling
Reeling from how good this idea is
Gonna tell you my heart
Til you’ve seen in
And I’m reeling from how good this idea is
Reeling

All these thoughts
Just the clouds
Concealing a sky
And these laughs
Just the fears
Holding our hand
Heading home on my own
A song in my ear
Think its time to call you up
Tell all that I know

And I’m reeling
Reeling from how good this idea is
Gonna tell you my heart
Til you’ve seen in
And I’m reeling from how good this idea is
Reeling

It’ll take what it need
Take what it … Read the rest

Lyrics

This city makes me cry
I wear a shirt and tie oh why oh why
This city makes me close up think of
Nothing else but me and yes myself and I oh my oh my
There’s something very wrong with that

And I’m drunk on the tube
Drunk missing you

Got to write this down before I
Get to kentish town cos that’s where I
Fall asleep, get mugged and
Wake up far away from home
Far away from home

This city makes me high
It helps to make me live before I die
But sometimes I just close up think of
Nothing else but me and those with whom I spend my time oh my oh my
There’s nothing very wrong with that

And I’m drunk on the tube
Drunk missing you

Got to write this down before I
Get to kentish town cos that’s where I… Read the rest

Freddie Laid The Smackdown

Lyrics

Moving towns
11 years old at another new school now

Oh no well I wasn’t aware I’d be staring down the barrel of the proverbial gun
I’m eating school dinners when Matthew informs me we’re fighting as soon as I’m done

I’m using lies to try and disguise that I’m far less worldly-wise
And Aaron’s been pushing me round since I skilled him up bad at 11-a-side

Oh no Freddie laid the smack down
Oh no on the new kid in the new town
Oh no you can take your shots at me but you’ll never take a piece of my soul

On shaky ground
There’s nothing left to do but learn to dust yourself down

In lessons Miss Beehag asks questions I’m sure to be smiling and raising my hand
I’m pleased to be getting my A’s but Jordan’s rubbing my face in the sand

Pondering On A Scenario In Which I Am The Hero

Many Fish To Fry Ghostess Live Studio Sessions

Lyrics

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero
It’s something I am prone to
Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero
And somehow I ride to the rescue

I’m walking past a house on nether street
When all of a sudden the whole of the second floor goes up in flames
Little Tommy’s on his own today
And no one else can hear his calls
By some twist of fate his door’s locked
But from somewhere I summon the strength of a god
Even lose a little blood
As we’re diving from the hall
The house begins to fall

I’m pondering on a scenario in which I am the hero
It’s something I am prone to
Just pondering on scenarios in which I am the hero
And somehow I ride to the rescue

I’m on a late night bus from angel
And three … Read the rest

Sideline

Lyrics

Down this drink
Drink this town
Burn this paper
Smoke this town
Home to strangers
Thick with skin
Each a fortress
To live in

Find one love
One is here
Choose one face
Let one near
One is gracious
One is true
One is lonely
One is you

Even now as I try to push you away
I’m hoping I could stay a little while with you
But inside you’d just see my dust in a trail
Cos I’m running so fast away
If you can’t commit to one
With others on your mind
You’re gonna end up with none
On the sideline

All these souls
Just one place
Choose one smell
Choose one taste
Meet one here
Meet one’s mum
Not quite right
Not so wrong

Even now as I try to push you away
I’m hoping I could stay a little while with you
But inside I … Read the rest

Be With Me Once More

Many-Fish-cover-square-120

Lyrics

I’m an gripping book
Don’t leave me on a train
I’m a good umbrella
You’ll need me in the rain
Pick me up now I am heading to your door
Be with me once more

I’m an empty beer glass
Yet to be re-filled
I’m a hard-earned pay cheque
That you’ll need to pay the bills
Pick me up now and I’ll show you what’s in store
Be with me once more

I’m a set of car keys
Down the back of your settee
I’m a choc-chip cookie
Dunk me in your tea
Pick me up I’m what you’re looking for
Be with me once more

I’m a landing light bulb
Helping you to see
I’m a brand new paint brush
Come make some art with me
Pick me up now I am right outside your door
Be with me once more

Hearts can be broken
But things … Read the rest

Lyrics

Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today

I move to peru and I build a canoe
From a tree trunk, scrap metal and glue
Overcharge the tourists they haven’t got a clue
Re-grow the afro and don’t use shampoo
Pablo the fisherman lends me his line
I’m catching seabass in no time
What a life, but no wife,
And I fucking hate mosquitos
Malaria was tough but the doc did enough
To save my life
Til I drown in a freak whirlpool at aged 65

Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today

Iceland’s quite cold, but a part of my soul… Read the rest
