Hooking Up 02:43
I'm going down Below the ground We flop around I'm flippin' out Listen up, you guppies because today's the day I'm floating out into the Crystal Bay And don't you know that if I get my way Tonight I'm eating fish filet I wish it wasn't this way but I'm gonna hunt you for game I'm gonna eat you with some garlic and a lemon You're only nine inches but I'll say that you're eleven
3.
I'll set the bait and switch it around on you There'll be nothing that you can do When my pole bends for you Don't make me wait 'cause you know I've been here so long Do you really think it's so wrong to be a castaway? I'll attach the trailer hitch so I can launch my boat It's a classic bait and switch You'll never even know This reef is great But the barrier is so long Do you really think it's so wrong to fish for love this way?
4.
I need allure/a lure Oh baby how am I gonna getcha when I got no rubber on my fish hook? You're just like me baby looking for more but you're a bottom feeder and I'm up here on the shore Oh baby how am I gonna getcha when I got no rubber on my fish hook? You don't eat live bait and your loving isn't pure but that's okay, honey 'cause I only need allure/a lure
5.
Some people say that you can't feel pain But you got a lot of nerve coming back here again You could push your luck and swim up, but I worry 'cause they've eaten all your brothers up and the water is dirty Some people say that your kind ain't long for this earth What kind of world will your spawn see when they emerge? When all the shore's filling up with the stuff from the sewer The grass is always greener but the ocean's never bluer You're just a salmon up a river Another grizzly bear dinner Swim against the water's resistance to save your species' existence You better sharpen your fins and find a better place to live

Minnow 02:47
Minnow, don't you worry about the life you could have had I know that it's no fun to grow up and never know your dad But that's the way things go these days in this underwater 'hood The ones you love fill your gills with life, then they leave you here for good Minnow, don't you worry about the bass down in the reeds I know he's got his eye on you and it's almost time to feed Keep your head down, stay in school, take only what you need From what I hear a life in fear ain't a pretty life to lead You can have it all and I know this bank's getting small But the river is wide and it runs 30 miles right down to the falls Minnow though you're little there's a big heart on your sleeve We're all sure you were meant for more and someday you'll have to leave Kind of like when Frodo goes off to the undying lands Sam and friends (salmon friends) won't like it but they'll have to understand You can have it all I know you hear the call from the river so wide, running down 30 miles right down to the falls
7.
I've been dropping my line Out in the deep blue brine for 20 years time with this scummy son of mine You're always in the way, kid (I'll do it myself) Every single day, kid (I'll do it myself) Listen when I say, kid (I'll do it myself) I gotta get paid so I'll do it myself It was the master plan to raise a right-hand man a co-captain but I'd rather leave his ass back on land
8.
Seaside 01:52
You and me walking by the seaside the money's tight just like our loving bind You and me looking for a quick bite A cheap night, and so we cast our lines I'm gonna get you something good I'm gonna get you in the mood You and me walking by the seaside The sun still shines o'er the horizon line Two or three hours 'til it's midnight Oh what a sight under the full moonlight I'm gonna get you something good I'm gonna get you in the mood (I'm sorry)
9.
I'm just a six pack a day kind of guy 20 Marb Reds, hardened look in my eye If I had to be anyone else I'd rather die My boat's the cheap beat up aluminum kind 15 horsepower, ain't much but it's mine And when trolling where muskellunge lie I am alive Deep jig Spinner rig Long ash Mepp's patch Hat hook The Good Book A bed of weeds Gasoline Ripped Jeans Stained teeth Red Meat That's me

Sharksucker 02:22
I know I'm not the strongest guy around And I could never make it in this town without the help of someone like you now I'm sucking on your tummy to help a best friend out Yeah I know you could kill me any time that you please Your protection fulfills me and I got something you need I can be the one to clean your back and you can be the one to save my ass when all the other sharks go swimming past They're jealous when they tell us how we're supposed to act Yeah I know you could kill me anytime that you please Baby, I love you dearly Do you love me? You could be the one to take my hand to have and to hold until the end We could pledge our love the only way we can Forever draw our names in a heart in the sand I could feel safe when the world is mean You could be assured that your body is clean We could go from sea to shining sea Oh tell me, baby please, will you marry me? I can be the one to clean your back and you can be the one to save my ass when all the other sharks go swimming past They're jealous when they tell us how we're meant to act
