about

This song was first performed and recorded back when I was playing with Bob's Dog Otis, an LA based band featuring myself on bass, Fred Villari (Freddy V and the Vibes) on guitar and vocals; Jet Trego (Jetstream, Pride of Cucamonga and others) on lead guitar and vocals; Drew Ingwalson and later Marc Stuart (the one and only!!) on drums.

lyrics

I like a fish
have spent much of my time
swimming round and round in circles in my own shallow pool
a tedious existence but I'm nobody's fool
I do not pay rent or attention
there's no worry or dissension in my world
I seem to be looked after
but I sometimes miss the laughter of a girl
a pretty phish girl

There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away

I make a wish
you are at the center of a dream
I am a satellite, one more revolution and I spin right to your heart
waking up I see we're still apart
do you push me away or do you draw me in?
do you draw me in?

There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away

Sometimes I feel like there's no on out there on the other side
My water's disappearing and I might drown or I might end up dry
But when it seems most desperate my water gets renewed and I'm all right
How can I ever thank you for all the thing you do to bring me life

There is a hand that feeds me I can see it I can taste it
reaching for my bowl but I don't know her name
and I can feel love ripple through the water
may I remember to be thankful when my hunger's gone away
