Midnight Fish

Robyn Hitchcock · Gravy Deco (The Complete Groovy Decay/Decoy Sessions) [1995]

Some people make it and

Some people don't

Some people take it and

Some people won't



Now you've got everything

A girl could wish

Excepting one thing

I haven't seen any fish



So I'm slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Honey, watch me drown



Rubbing like strangers

In a filthy hole, come on, boy

Moist and expectant

Sardines in a bowl, come on, boy

Cut all their heads off

So they can breathe, come on



Somewhere in my baby's tunnel

I get lost and think I'll drown

Somewhere in my baby's tunnel

Lord I'm feel I'm goin' down



Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish

Slipping you the midnight fish
