Van Morrison - Gold Fish Bowl lyrics
Your rating:
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 record And I don't have no t.v. show An' I don't have no reason To live in the gold fish bowl I'm just doin' my gigs An' I'm on an' off the road Ev'rything I say is not meant to be Set in stone Just because they call me a celebrity That does not make it true 'Cause I don't believe in the myth, people So, why should you? Jazz, blues and funk That's not rock an' roll Folk with a beat an Little bit a soul I don't have no hit record I don't have no t.v. show Tell me, why should I have to Live in this gold fish bowl? Well, the parasites and psychic vampires Feeding on the public at large Projectin' the shadow Onto everyone at us Well, the newspaper barons Are scum of the lowest degree And they prey on ev'rybody They prey on you an' me I'm singin' jazz, blues and funk Baby, that's not rock an' roll An' folk with a beat An' a little bit a soul I don't have no hit record I don't have no t.v. show So, why should I want to Live in this gold fish bowl? So why should I want to Live in this gold fish bowl?
