Lyrics
Goldfish at the fair
you could win one to bring home
I thought it was cruel
but I wanted to save one
Remember the fun fair
the scary rides
screaming into your jumper
I held onto you with my life
the ghost train was the worst thing
I lost my hat on the way round
had to go back in on my own
Remember the goldfish in the bags
You could win one to bring home
I wanted one -
Coz I wouldnt have you for very long
I came back the next day
They had packed up and gone
where did they go so quickly?
A bit like you and me
An empty field
A field full of empty dreams.
Remember the goldfish
I wanted one
