about

I suppose the lyrics do speak for themselves, here, and I might not be available to comment, for I, have gone FISHEN! Alternately spelled FI$H3N or however you like, we take liberties. John Mader added drums and chimed in on the "answer" vocals to complete this fishery. An earlier version of this was an "insta-single," but me being me, I had to follow through and produce it a bit. Add some wasabi, if you will. Bon appetit

lyrics

I QUIT (GONE FISHEN)

Back in the days of answering the phone
There were things that people did and stuff
Now when it rings I chuck it in my bag
I do not need whatever they might have
Who can it be, I do not give a damn
Let's crush our sim cards and go on the lam

I'll leave a sign in crayon, on the clubhouse door

Bye bye
Gone fishen
Ciao!
Gone fishen
Tschuess denn
Gone fishen
Fare thee well
Gone fishen

I quit the old apartment and I quit my worryin'
Quit all of my quittin' and I quit it all again
I quit my quittin' help group that I never really joined
I quit and split and did it with the kit that we purloined

Some fake friends who were not nice to me
I quit them, for I am fond of me
Don't miss them, it is no mystery
Gone fishen, gone fishen, gone fishen

Back in the days of answering the phone
It used to worry me, it used to vex me
Exasperated, wrestling for control
I don't miss it, gone fishen
Now when it rattles I heave it into a volcano
I do not heed whatever they might explaino
Report it in as misleading or scam
Delete the spambots and the phony jams

We'll leave a note in lemon juice on the clubhouse door

Bye bye
Gone fishen
Ciao bella
Gone fishen

I'm a guitarist and singer-songwriter with The Uptones. These are my solo recordings, starting from 2015. I started Berkeley Cat Records in 2019. BandCamp is the first place I publish these puppies, before I send them into the streaming wilds. Wait, you ask, Berkeley Cat Records has puppies? Why yes, Matilda. Thanks for popping in, hope you enjoy the tunes! ... more
