Lyrics:
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today."
Yes, we are very sorry
a shark, what can a herring do?
Be wise, compromise.
Compromise, and be wise!
Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal.
I will not bow my
heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row all for Mairi's wedding
Plenty herring plenty meal plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny
breakfast: two pounds bacon,
Three dozen eggs, one coffee cake, and
Then you had something really awful,
Four kippered herrings on a waffle.
Nine English
the hatches battened down
And made my way by starlight off the coast of Newfoundland
And dined on beer and herrings while the waves blew all around
I live
Drifting herrings in your bed
Here comes a nowhere man on quick Southern feet
You're on the quickest ways to lonely and you cry too much to sleep
Like a red herring
Laminated denim
A note outside the scale
From beyond the pale
Unwitting host
Inside-out ghost
Harbinger of changes
Destiny
His name is Mister Snow,
And an up-standed man is he.
He comes home every night in his round-bottomed boat,
With a net full of herring from
you're receiving
And of course, we take it for granted
Please, is everyone on their knees
For red herring heroes
They'll just let you down
Feign disguise
and Rich
and a couple of bitches
Then they took us to a man named Gus in his store
He put me down with a herring-bone and shoes galore
Thats when I started
meandering whales,
With a shoal of herring amongst the sails.
But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is
step away
Making all of the roses bloom
After another unveiling of the bright red herring
I walked down Rufus Street
Thinking over it over it how
Napoleon's a pastry bismarck is a herring
Alexander's a crème de cocoa mixed with rum
And Herbie Hoover is a vacu-um
Columbus is a Circle, and a day
said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring
Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh wet dream
Gil was also down
a shark, what can a herring do?
Be wise, compromise.
Compromise, and be wise!
Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal.
I will not bow my
unfamiliar
Like eating herring where the sun does not go down
Our driver calculates what time we'll hit town
And every time a border comes
We go inside
and herring
All the fish of the sea
And though I have travelled the
Wild world all over
There's nowhere on earth that
Is dearer to me
And there's where
Ballbearing blues
Ballbearing blues
I`m gonna sing you some red herring news
If you don`t wear shoes
You`ll have no shoes to lose
And that`s
Island|I can tell ya that much about the Maritimes.'|You must be friends with, them there Blue Nosers from Nova Scotia|And the New Brunswick Herring
from staring
And I'll swim sweetly as a herring
Through the ether, not despairing
Go to sleep, you stunning sky
Gently creep cunning by
A quiet
keep moving before you get totally cold
And you better start growing up before you get old
Totally wicked and equally ace
Hoopoes and herring gulls
sardines and sea urchin
Haddock, halibut, herrings and eel
Cockles, mussels, mackerel and veal
Pilchard, plankton, St Peter's fish and plaice
Octopussy
cutting its loss
Regurgitate headlines or a theory on modern art
You've been fooled again, the red herrings a joke
I've tried so hard to tell you
That I've
Ballbearing blues
Ballbearing blues
I'm gonna sing you some red herring news
If you don't wear shoes
You'll have no shoes to lose
And that's the end
