Van Morrison - Gold Fish Bowl Lyrics
(Instrumental & sax into)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 recordAnd I don't have no t.v. showAn' I don't have no reasonTo live in the gold fish bowlI'm just doin' my gigsAn' I'm on an' off the roadEv'rything I say is not meant to beSet in stoneJust because they call me a celebrityThat does not make it true'Cause I don't believe in the myth, peopleSo, why should you?Jazz, blues and funkThat's not rock an' rollFolk with a beat anLittle bit a soulI don't have no hit recordI don't have no t.v. showTell me, why should I have toLive in this gold fish bowl?(Instrumental and organ)Well, the parasites and psychic vampiresFeeding on the public at largeProjectin' the shadowOnto everyone at usWell, the newspaper baronsAre scum of the lowest degreeAnd they prey on ev'rybodyThey prey on you an' meI'm singin' jazz, blues and funkBaby, that's not rock an' rollAn' folk with a beatAn' a little bit a soulI don't have no hit recordI don't have no t.v. showSo, why should I want toLive in this gold fish bowl?(Instrumental & sax)So why should I want toLive in this gold fish bowl?
