Legend Of The Sixteen Fish

from Absolute Drivel by David Blamires

/

lyrics

Hi Madeline, please be my friend
I am so lonely and socially inept
And humourless and hopelessly pathetic
And I crave friends who will overlook my patheticness
Regards, the guy from upstairs
Michael D

Dear Margaret, how you doing? (how’s it goin?)
I haven’t seen you at the bus stop of late
Did I upset you when I touched your hair
Every day brings a new and mystifying crisis
Regards, the guy with the limp
Norman Q

Sometimes you have to try
A little bit harder than you might be inclined to
Some journeys through emotional wreckage
Require a stop or two along the way

Hi Veronica, I have a friend
His name is Simon and he lives in my head
Sometimes he’s not always my friend sometimes
And he’s quite adept at finding ways to make me cry
Regards, from Simon’s erstwhile friend
Martin P

Aah aah aah, aah aah aah
Ba bah ba bah
Ba ba, ba ba bah
This song needs a real bridge

In China there is a town
And in this town there is a flowing river
And in this river there are sixteen fish
And you may ask “What does this have to do with anything?”
Regards, a voice from the past
David B
