Stereophonics
"Goldfish Bowl"


Same long faces in the work-mans hall,
Caramel Crisp counts his birds,
Cliff Chips lines up his dominoes,
Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, 
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, 
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim

The hall down town just burnt to the ground,
My boxing ring turned to ash,
Red-head, ginger bread, sells tickets at the door,
Stella sleep walks in the sand

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, 
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, 
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim,
Looking in, They're looking in

Hard up, outta luck, time to ride the village bike,
A bike been used ten times or more,
Grape vine, here's the wife, lays down her royal flush,
I think I've lost another wife

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming, 
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, 
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl,
It's sink or swim,
They're looking in, its sink or swim
