[VERSE 1]
Slow lander, fish on
Bring it in, bring it in
Watch it splash, watch it slish
Lead it 'round like a pet on a leash

[VERSE 2]
He's reaching for his gaff — and it's only a pink
We are all watching and waiting
He's a slow lander, can't bring it in — he's a two-hander
Put the fish in the bin

[CHORUS]
Oh, it got away
Oh well — other fish in the sea
Too bad for me
But for him, he's free

[VERSE 3]
Four seasons on the water
The captain is his son
He taught the boy the timber
Before the boy had won

[VERSE 4]
Guitars in the off-season
Skiing in the snow
Sailing in the summer
Letting the slow work go

[CHORUS]
Oh, it got away
Oh well — other fish in the sea
Too bad for me
But for him, he's free

[OUTRO]
Slow lander, fish on
Bring it in, bring it in
Too bad for me
But for him he's free
