Many Fish To Fry by Jake Morley Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2011

[Chorus]
Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today

[Verse 1]
I move to Peru and I build a canoe
From a tree trunk, scrap metal and glue
Overcharge the tourists they haven’t got a clue
Re-grow the afro and don’t use shampoo
Pablo the fisherman lends me his line
I’m catching seabass in no time
What a life, but no wife
And I fucking hate mosquitos
Malaria was tough but the doc did enough
To save my life
Til I drown in a freak whirlpool at aged 65

[Chorus]
Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today
[Verse 2]
Iceland’s quite cold, but a part of my soul
Won’t rest 'til I call it home
Through powder-glass snowfields, I go for a stroll
Meet a girl taxidermist in a geothermal pool
We drive round in circles cos there’s nothing else to do
I father a child or two
Northern lights, it’s alright but I miss my big brothers
She left with the kids, I move to Madrid
Learn to fly a plane
Til a biotech virus eats through my brain

[Chorus]
Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today

[Verse 3]
The album’s a flop, so I open a shop called
Jake Morley’s Famously Lossmaking Sandwich Emporium Shop
For the price food so nice you’ll weep in your bread
But the shop’s repossessed and I get so much rest
I think I must be dead
[Bridge]
But wait a minute I can see my great-grandkids
Crowded round my bed

[Chorus]
Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Anything’s possible today

[Post-Chorus]
Every life is a new way to die
Futures rain down from the sky
I don’t know what I’ll do or where I belong
Anything’s coming my way
Everything’s coming my way
Everything’s possible today
