about

a cautionary tail

lyrics

my name is mr. fish i live behind a rock school is in session down the block so i go out for a walk i spend my money on the paper the current warns of impending danger but i forgot my lunch overhead there is free food to munch

in the newspaper i read the food reviews - the chum and chew opens half past two - i've heard about life up there where there is no air the missus has me on a diet i'm hooked on kelp but i want to try it i'm sick of seaweed every day my hunger for meat cannot be kept at bay

i hear my wife's voice in my head - let me cook you kelp instead - i tell myself i'm not a bisque that mr. fish is plenty quick but the meat inside my mouth tastes good and i go limp like she said i would the deal's been sealed for an ounce of flesh hey boys i'm headed for the nets

mr. fish mr. fish you're putting up a fight
but mr. fish mr. fish the missus was right
mr. fish mr. fish you've had your last bite
mr. fish mr. fish you're headed for the light

my name is mr. fish i live upon the ice this is water i have not known cold and hard not like home but my life it aint' so bad in fact i'm not even mad i don't have to think or swim or eat now i'm just a piece of meat

Funky speedy tunes that will put a large smile on your face and make you incontralably twitch until you start dancing/jumping around. Very punky and rich vocal work, with a wide variety of expressions, from sweety warm tone to sour, almost mocking voice, with crystal clear, almost ethereal or childlike moments. Tarage

This is the type of music that I can put on repeat all day. It fills me with a calm energy that pulls me through hard times. If I'd only found these albums earlier, I'd have had more time to listen to them. Thank you, The Sea Life. SWORDDOGGIRL
