(Van Morrison)
|
What will it take for them to leave me alone
|
Don't they know I'm just a guy who sings songs
|
I'm not promoting no hit record
|
And I don't have no TV show
|
And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl
|
|
I'm just doing my gigs
|
And I'm on and off the road
|
Everything I say is not meant to be set in stone
|
Just because they call me a celebrity
|
That does not make it true
|
'Cos I don't believe in the myth people
|
So why should you?
|
|
Jazz Blues & Funk
|
That's not Rock & Roll
|
Folk with a beat
|
And a little bit of Soul
|
I don't have no hit record
|
I don't have no TV show
|
Tell me why should I have to live in this goldfish bowl?
|
|
Well there's parasites and psychic vampires
|
Feeding on the public at large
|
Projecting their shadow onto everyone else
|
Well the newspaper barons
|
Are the scum of the lowest degree
|
And they prey on everybody
|
They prey on you and me
|
|
I'm singing Jazz Blues & Funk
|
Baby that's not Rock & Roll
|
Folk with a beat
|
And a little bit of Soul
|
I don't have no hit record
|
I don't have no TV show
|
So why should I want to live in this goldfish bowl?
