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

Bait & Switch
02:52
|
|||
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?

A Lure (Allure)
01:54
|
|||
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

Sea of Tomorrow
03:41
|
|||
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

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

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

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)

I'd Rather Die
03:16
|
|||
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

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
