Fish lyrics Black Canal lyrics They'll always find a place for you in the sidewalk cafes No one ventures into the streets these days except strangers and those like me, looking for work I noticed the smell when I got off the bus and traced it down to a canal that ran right through the heart of the city like an open vein full of black rotten blood A mirror surface broken only by the bubbles of gas escaping from the stagnating mess that lay on the bottom fuelled by the chemicals and effluent of the city which was fed, in turn, by the barges and the ships that followed that line and created the waves across that surface to the dockside where they unloaded their holds, the swarms of people clambering over them I sat down in a cafe and I was holding my own and minding my own business and a voice spoke in my ears as if it recognized that I was questioning the source of the smell Have another beer boy, take it with a pinch of snuff And my eyes were bedazzled, by the jewels in his silken cuff and a voice rolled out from an ashen cloud from behind a long cigar Son, you'll never need to smell the black canal It was as if he'd read my mind, as if he expected it and, as the afternoon was wasted, I became aware I was becoming wrapped up in his world I became aware of the smell from the bouquet in his buttonhole It was taking me away from the canal and away from my questions I was aware that the perfumes were all around us And he sold me the city, well at least he tried to with all his stories All the silks out of China And all the satins out of Spain All the powders for your noses will keep the stench at bay Have another beer boy, take it with a pinch of snuff Your eyes will be bedazzled, by the jewels in my scented cuff And a voice rolled out from an ashen cloud from behind a long cigar Son, you'll never need to smell this black canal And my world was spinnin', my head was awash with this promises and his beer And I looked up as he reached down and snorted the flower in his buttonhole He smiled and his eyes lied I was staring at a suit with no soul No matter how you wash them How you scrub and bleach and boil You'll never get rid of the smell of the black canal Of the black canal Black canal The black canal The black canal The black canal (Derek Dick/Foss Paterson) Other Fish lyrics: Vigil lyrics Shadowplay lyrics Credo lyrics Just Good Friends lyrics Favourite Stranger lyrics Lucky lyrics Dear Friend lyrics Tongues lyrics Internal Exile lyrics Something in the Air lyrics Mr 1470 lyrics Lady Let It Lie lyrics Emperor's Song lyrics Fortunes of War lyrics Somebody Special lyrics No Dummy lyrics Pipeline lyrics Jumpsuit City lyrics Bandwagon lyrics Raw Meat lyrics Out Of My Mind lyrics Question lyrics Boston Tea Party lyrics Fearless lyrics Apeman lyrics Hold your Head up lyrics Solo lyrics I Know What I Like (in your wardrobe) lyrics Jeepster lyrics Five Years lyrics The Perception of Johnny Punter lyrics Goldfish and Clowns lyrics Change of Heart lyrics What Colour is God? lyrics Tara lyrics Jungle Ride lyrics Worm in a Bottle lyrics Brother 52 lyrics Sunsets on Empire lyrics Say it with Flowers lyrics Do Not Walk Outside This Area lyrics Tumbledown lyrics Mission Statement lyrics Incomplete lyrics Tilted Cross lyrics Faith Healer lyrics Rites of Passage lyrics Hotel Hobbies lyrics Warm Wet Circles lyrics That Time Of The Night lyrics Going Under lyrics Just For The Record lyrics White Russian lyrics Incommunicado lyrics Torch Song lyrics Slainte Mhath lyrics Sugar Mice lyrics The Last Straw lyrics Tux On lyrics Beaujolais Day lyrics Story from a Thin Wall lyrics Shadows on the Barley lyrics Sunset Hill lyrics Tic-Tac-Toe lyrics Voice in the Crowd lyrics Exile on Princes Street lyrics Assassing lyrics Punch And Judy lyrics Jigsaw lyrics Emerald Lies lyrics She Chameleon lyrics Incubus lyrics Fugazi lyrics Cinderella Search lyrics Pseudo Silk Kimono lyrics Kayleigh lyrics Lavender lyrics Bitter Suite lyrics Heart Of Lothian lyrics Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) lyrics Lords Of The Backstage lyrics Blind Curve lyrics Childhood's End? lyrics White Feather lyrics Lady Nina lyrics Freaks lyrics Script For A Jesters Tear lyrics He Knows You Know lyrics The Web lyrics Garden Party lyrics Chelsea Monday lyrics Forgotten Sons lyrics Market Square Heroes lyrics Grendel lyrics Charting The Single lyrics Three Boats Down From The Candy lyrics A Gentleman's Excuse Me lyrics Big Wedge lyrics Cliche lyrics Family Business lyrics Jack And Jill lyrics State of Mind lyrics The Company lyrics The Voyeur (I Like to Watch) lyrics View From the Hill lyrics Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors lyrics Whiplash lyrics |
