Artist/Band: Van Morrison
Lyrics for Song: Goldfish Bowl
Lyrics for Album: What's Wrong with this Picture? [2003]



What will it take for them to leave me alone

Don't they know I'm just a guy who sings songs?

I'm not promoting no hit record, hell, I don't have no TV show

And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl



I'm just doin' my gigs and I'm on and off the road

Everything I say is not meant to be set in stone

Just because they call me a celebrity, that does not make it true

'Cos I don't believe in the myth people, so why should you?



Jazz, blues an' funk, that's not rock 'n roll

Folk with a beat and a little bit of soul

I don't have no hit record, I don't have no TV show

Tell me why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl



Well, there's parasites and psychic vampires feedin' on

The public at large, projectin' their shadow onto everyone else

Well, the newspaper barons are scum of the lowest degree

And they prey on everybody, they prey on you and me



I'm singin' jazz, blues an' funk, baby that's not rock 'n roll

And folk with a beat and a little bit of soul

I don't have no hit record, I don't have no TV show

So, why should I want to live in this goldfish bowl?



So, why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl?
