Goldfish Bowl Lyrics - What's Wrong With This Picture - 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?
