If I Could Seak by Phil Goodan (Lyric Video) – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Fishing… from a fish’s perspective.

LYRICS:
I can’t believe that in a civilised nation
You’d abuse me just for gratification
Protesters fight for foxes with such passion
But torturing us is still so in fashion

If I could speak then I’d say „Oi !!“
„How dare you play with me I’m not a toy!“
And even IF you don’t hurt me when I’m caught
I’d still say „What a barbaric sport!“

And then as soon as I’m off of your hook
You have to pose with me on your Facebook
But would you get as many likes and shares
If I was a badger caught in your snare

If I could speak then I’d say „Woah !!“
„How dare you put my photograph on show!“
And even IF you don’t hurt me when I’m caught
I’d still say „What a primitive sport!“

You come here with a truckload of fancy kit
But if you’re looking for a proper challenge this ain’t it
Let’s see you climbing the north face of the Eiger
Or better still in a fist fight with a tiger

I could understand if you were going to eat me
But not just to prove that you can defeat me
This sure ain’t no hunter gathering
This is maiming, while drinking with your mates and blathering

If I could speak then I’d say „Ouch !!“
„Put those hooks back in their pouch!“
And even IF you don’t hurt me when I’m caught
I’d still say „What a horrendous sport!“

Celebrities on fluffy TV shows
Make it even more acceptable, that’s how the story goes
But for now you’re still allowed to HUNT!
And if I could speak I’d say „You sadistic person!“
