Fast Fish
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a fast fish I'm not a loose fish out of time
Oh a chewing gum saying in everyone's mouth
That possession is half of the law
Regardless of how that thing came into your possession
They say that its half of the law
Oh but it is often the case that possession
Is the whole of the law
What are the sinews and souls of capital's serfs?
The republican slaves?
But fast fish
In this case is not possession the whole of the law
Not just half of the law?
You've got a bad landlord?
Haven't we all?
He's a fast fish - he's a fast fish
What is the protected villain's marble mansion with doorplate?
For a waif, what is that but a fast fish?
What is this ruinous discount, mordecai
But a fast fish?
Keep your family from starvation
What is this noble thing but a fast fish?
All the archbishops who save souls in doubt
Steal from the bread and cheese of hundreds of thousands
What is that globular hundred thousand
But a fast fish?
Oh when the Chinese rent collector comes round "shintin"
It's a fast fish
Oh brother Jonathan , all sex is a fast fish
It's most of the law
I am a fast fish I'm not a loose fish out of time
I am a fast fish are you a loose fish out of time?
