Frank Fish and the Fins

Zappa-esque, psychedelic, rock pranksters from Oxford. Gibbering mad professor front man with 1001 surreal costume changes. Abstract fish-obsessed lyrics.

Story behind the song

There's an ancient Cutteslowe fairy tale about Mr.Frank Fish, the sleeve of his treasured Johnny Winter 'Second Winter' LP, a vast amount of post-gig alcohol and a legless confusion about the difference between a cardboard record sleeve and the Gents toilet. This horrific tale of morning-after guilt, regret and rock'n'roll hangover-humiliation could well have something to do with the inspiration behind the writing of this song...or it might just be a coincidence.

Lyrics

Yesterday I bought some fish 
from a supermarket. I drove home in my car 
and I parked it. 
The fish was on the back-seat 
so I reached out to take them in 
and I nearly jumped out of my skin 
I could not believe what I saw there 
I could not believe it 
There was a Johnny Winter album cover 
next to that fish 
I ran into the house 
I was screaming. It was a nightmare 
But I wasn't dreaming 
I saw it with my own eyes 
Johnny Winter's face right next to 
a piece of fresh plaice 
I could not believe what I saw there 
I could not believe it 
There was a Johnny Winter Album Cover 
Next to that fish
