Many Fish to Fry Songtext
von Jake Morley

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

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


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

Iceland's quite cold, but a part of my soul
Won′t rest til I call it home
Through powderglass 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

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


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.

But wait a minute I can see my great-grandkids crowded round my bed

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

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
