Fish Wish

lyrics

FISH/WISH

SOMETIMES I WISH THAT I WAS A FISH
SWIMMIN IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA
SOMETIMES I THINK THAT BEING A FISH
WOULD BE EASIER THAN BEING ME

DON'T KNOW WHY OH WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR ME
DON'T KNOW WHY OH WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR ME TO BE

YEAH YEAR YEAH I'M ASHAMED OF MYSELF
I AIN'T LIVING LIKE I OUGHT TO BE

SOMETIMES IT'S HARD JUST TO GET UP
AND GET OUT OF BED
DON'T KNOW WHY OH WHY
CAN I NOT FEEL THE JOY
THAT IS MINE UNTIL I'M DEAD

I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST A CRYBABY
BUT THAT'S HOW I FEEL SO DON'T PICK ON ME

YEAH YEAR YEAH I'M ASHAMED OF MYSELF
I AIN'T LIVING LIKE I OUGHT TO BE
AND IπVE GOT EVERY GIFT THAT THE LORD CAN GIVE
AND I STILL INSIST ON LIVING IN MISERY

WELL I'VE GOTTA CHANGE I CAN'T KEEP GOING ON THE SAME
IF I DO I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CHANGE MY NAME IN SHAME

I'M NOT A FISH AND I DO NOT WISH
TO LIVE IN THE DEEP SEA
MY FONDEST DREAM IS JUST TO SEEM
JUST TO SEEM TO BE ME

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45
