lyrics

FISH OUT OF WATER


What do you want to be a hero for
You know you'll only get yourself noticed
Sticking your big head up above everyone
What do you want to climb that mountain for
You know you'll only slip and hurt your big toe
Surely there are safer ways to have fun?

Life would be easy if you'd just settle down
Ah but life would be hard without
digging and flying and aching and crying
Like a fish out of water I'd drown.

Why do you want to go to outer space
You know it's cold and there's no cable TV
What are you going to do on rainy afternoons?
Why do you want to go so deep sea diving
Maybe some big fish is gonna eat you
Don't you know they've got them all in the Zoo?

Life would be easy if you’d just settle down
Ah but life would be hard without
digging and flying and aching and crying
Like a fish out of water I'd drown.

Why do you want to leave your home town
all your friends and family's here
I think they’ll miss you
Don't you think you'll get a little lonely too?
Why do you wanna go adventuring it’s not as if there’s nothing here you couldn’t do
Don’t you know we’ve got our own mountains too?

Life would be easy if you'd just settle down
Ah but life would be hard without
digging and flying and aching and crying
Without slipping and falling and aching and crawling -
Like a fish out of water I'd drown.
