It is an ex fish. It has ceased to be.

Farewell old friend.

"The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and fish."
Keith Richards

This morming (Sunday) I went into our local petshop and asked to buy a goldfish. The chap behind the counter asked if I wanted an aquarium. I told him I just wanted a goldfish and wasn't concerned about what its star sign was.

I heard Keith's guitar was out of tune one day.. he shouted: 'I NEED A TUNE-A!'

"We are not old fish, we don't share your petty morals"

Keith Richards 1967

I chose him out of thousands. All the others were too flat.-Are all your pets called Eric?

"Come On" was initially titled "Prawns On"

... and of course, the perfect song for any fish:

You Can't Catch Me!

Brilliant, Green Lady!

think i busted a claw on my lobster, hope he don't fall down.

ya don't want my lobster to fall down, now do ya?

good evening one and all,
we're all so glad to feed you here
we'll serve your favorite fish
while you soak up the atmosphere

we'll start with clam dip cobbler
then maybe tail of lobster too
there's nothing else you have to chew
on with the roe, good health to you

you're all such lovely diners
eating crayfish to the core
but if you have to fart,
please aim your bubbles out the door

for we've got lots of plungers
and we've got lovely plumbers too
and we don't care how much you poo
on with the roe, good health to you

please have another bass,
it's time to serve the crab flambe
your wife will never know that
that you can't catch the crabs that way

our hostess here smells ranky
you'll find her very skanky, too
and we don't care just what you chew
on with the roe, good health to you

oh, if by chance you find that
you can't swallow any more
we'll pump you in the ass
and get you safely to the loo

for now i say with sorrow,
until this time tomorrow...
we'll cook you all a pike fondue
on with the roe, good health to you

I sauté today at the reception...

Battered, Battered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, Im in batter!

Battered

Friends are so alarming
My lovers never charming
Lifes just a cocktail party on the street
Big apple
People dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of fashion
Battered

Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, Im in batter

Battered

Pile it up, pile it high on the platter

So in "Monkey Man' when Mick says I could use a "lemon squeezer" he is verbalizing his frustration with underseasoned halibut? Wow, now the song makes perfect sense! I love this thread, I hope it goes on for all time.

It's hard to get cute with Elvis because most of his movies were set at the beach, so you literally have songs about seafood!
