Lyrics

Gone Fishing

Can’t afford wasting time making money
I need a space, a hiding place, a get away
Want to find some peace of mind, somewhere sunny
Need a break, gonna take a holiday
So I’ll load up the ford
My old life, I’ll leave behind
Wave goodbye to all my troubles
Out of sight is out of mind

Chorus:
Gone fishing … Stuck a note outside my door
Gone fishing… Won’t be hanging around no more
I’ll be incommunicado,
Can’t be reached … no way no how
Gone fishing, gone fishing
Gone fishing… gone now

It’s too easy losing track chasing rainbows
Trying to reach that illusive pot of gold
Funny though, I don’t know where the time goes
But I know I’m far too young to feel this old
So I quit my job
The nine to five, leave all the stress
Say goodbye to my old buddies
Leave no forwarding address

Chorus:
Gone fishing … Left a note outside my door
Gone fishing… Won’t be hanging ‘round no more

Bridge:
All my life searching for some meaning
Always looking out, not looking in
Think I’m due a little time for me now
Gonna cast a line and teach this worm to swim

Chorus:
Gone fishing … Stuck a note outside my door
Gone fishing… Won’t be hanging ‘round no more
I’ll be incommunicado,
Can’t be reached … no way no how
Gone fishing, gone fishing, gone fishing, gone fishing

Chorus/Outro:
Gone fishing … Read that note outside my door
Gone fishing… I don’t live here anymore
Gone fishing, gone fishing
Gone fishing
Gone now,
Hey I’m going now,
Adios, Au revoir
Arrivederci mama
Yeah Gone fishing
