lyrics

SLEEP WITH THE FISHES

yer gonna sleep with the fishes
yer gonna catch my wish
it's all said and done

you didn't hear what i said
for all - yer done in
you need to loosen up the naps
on yer nappy head
and cut loose instead
yeah, yer done in
go to sleep in a sea
full of bubbles
tread no anger red
now yer done in
on the banks, baby
good as dead

yer gonna sleep with the fishes
yer gonna catch my wish
it's all said and done

whoa - la la la la
you gotta sing for yer supper time
whoa - la la la la
you drew the joker from a deck of nine
whoa - la la la la
i drank you dry with a twist of lime
whoa - sha la la la
now i'm done, i hope ya had a good time

yer gonna sleep with the fishes
yer gonna catch my wish
it's all said and done

remember the day when you
walked in the door
and pretended to say
that you loved me no more
but i saw that your eyes
they were closed
and your fingers, they were twisting
like a rose
next time that i see you
things won't be the same same
i might even have a different name
but you know what i said
that day when the world
fell and settled upon
my ill, rattled head

i never really loved you
but i liked your style
i never really loved you
but i liked your style
i never really loved you
but i liked your style
don't come over now
don't come over now

i never really loved you
but i liked your style
i know i said i'd walk miles and miles
but you know it was just a ruse
i didn't think that you'd buy it
now what's the use?

yer gonna sleep with the fishes
yer gonna catch my wish...

about

Chris Anderson image

Chris Anderson Alexandria, Virginia

I made my first album in 1992 and I just can't quit. This site collects what came before my recording style changed in 2008. These are the records that shaped and guided me to the music I make now. Often flawed, always right. Newly remastered, with tons of bonus tracks, this catalog is my life story. A musical memoir in real time, ragged and as rough as I.
