The Fish And The Alley Of Destruction - the Rumour
Written by:Johnny Nash
I'd like to go to the ocean
And lose all the hooks from the fishes' jaw
And I'd like to be in the alleys
Lighting the halls of destruction
I'd like to give to the world
Something to think about
So when you feel pain
And you asked why did it come
Just remember the fish and the alley of destruction
If I could go to all the prisons
I'd figure out a way to free all the birds
Take them out in the morning
And I'd show them the signs of the coming of the Lord
They would still wonder
Oh why came the pain from their home relife
And I'd say when you feel pain
And you asked why did it come
Just remember the fish and the alley of destruction
Oh if I could write a song
Instead of mumbled words that I lean on
Than you might sooner listen to the common
Faults of the common man
But since the words are mine
I feel the message alone
And when I feel pain
I don't ask why did it come
I just remember the fish and the alley of destruction
Oh I remember the fish and the alley of destruction
