7. Actually being serious this time-A political allegory by Kid Creole and the Coconuts: No Fish Today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaEuuvuEXLg

some sample lines from it: "The authorities agreed, that if anyone should eat, it should be the upper class".......and..." I got to be this old because I do what I am told..."


This live version (the only one I found on you tube) is much slower than the album version , and I personally think it's much better at the faster tempo, , but hey, it's Kid Creole's song; guess he can do it any speed he likes.

40. Theme From The Bottom - Phish

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qaiqnKRr9w

I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top
I live upon morsels you happen to drop
And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup
If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up
On the way upwards, the colors come back
But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black
The darkness is cold and perception goes wrong
And the night seems to go on incredibly long

So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything you'd like to try?

Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth
Jumbled events that have less than no worth
Time in the forest to dig under rocks
Or float in the ocean asleep in a box

Or sink just below all the churning and froth
And swim to the light source or fly like a moth
So toss away stuff you don't need in the end
But keep what's important and know who's your friend

So I ask you why if I'm swimming by,
Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?
If I'm swimming by

From the bottom, from the top.....
*********************************************
I had this song on my Plenty O Fish profile....
Fish are people too....:D


peace~

42. The Fish That Played The Ponies - King Missile

Once upon a time,
Somewhere in the Ocean somewhere,
There lived a Fish,
The King of the Fish
The King of the Fish was not happy
He wanted to be more than just to be the King of the Fish
He wanted to be King of the whole Ocean
He wanted power over the whales and porpoises,
Giant sea tortoises,
Mollusks, crustaceans, and all the underwater plant life
And he wanted to own all the Salt in the Ocean
He was a big fat pig of a Fish
His greed angered the Ocean,
But the ocean knew the Fish would never succeed
Then the Fish learned to walk on the land
He stood upon the shore and laugh at the Ocean
He climbed trees and learned the secret of fire

He took a job as a investment banker,
And spent a lot of time at the racetrack,
Playing the Ponies
The ocean swore revenge
Then one day,
The Fish was vacationing in the Caribbean,
Sunbathing on the beach,
Laughing at the Ocean
A giant Wave came and swallowed the little Fish up
And he drowned
This is the fable of the Fish that played the Ponies
It is important to keep in mind that in this story,
The Fish is not meant to symbolize Christ
