Fish Out of Water - Jon Langford

You always said you were the compassionate one But now you're laughing at the sun With all your high class friends, you think you've got it made The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face With all your cigarettes and fancy cars You ain't a clue who or what you are You're dreaming your life away Fish out of water Go swim in the tide today Fish out of water We used to sit and talk about Primal Scream To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales And on the crucifix his mother made Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade You're dreaming your life away Fish out of water Go swim in the tide today Fish out of water You're dreaming your life away Fish out of water Go swim in the tide today Fish out of water You're dreaming your life away Fish out of water You're dreaming your life away You're dreaming your life away Fish out of water You're dreaming

They call me Blue eyed Dan a shell of a man but I was half way home I didn't seem to have much of a plan but I was half way home I said I was coming back to stay But a lot of things can happen along the way I was half way home You were waiting on the southbound train I was half way home But the platform was empty as it rolled away, half way home The hills and the valleys all looked the same And I met someone who remembered my name I was half way home, I was half way home Down by the river saying "Stand and deliver!" I was half way home Dirty thirty eyes like a birdie half way home I jumped up to reach the top But the law kept coming and bagged the lot I was halfway home halfway home My heart starts pumping when I think of your, half way home You're never gonna look into those eyes of blue, I was half way home Cross the street, open the door Nobody here really cares anymore Half way home, I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping I was half way home Yeah, I was half way home I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home
