The Friday Fish
uploaded: Mon, May 31, 2021 @ 2:04 AM
During the school summer holidays my mother would take me every friday into the city of Bath to do the weekly shop. As it was friday and my mother was a lover of convention she would buy fish from the McFisheries shop. Money was tight so she always bought what was cheapest on the day. She had given me my own shopping bag and I always carried the fish. To placate me we would go to the Pick ‘n Mix counter in Woolworths to buy a small bag of sweets before continuing around the shops. McFisheries has gone, Woolworths has gone and my mother has gone but the memories of those fishy fridays remains.
Oh theres no change in the weather They’ve forecast rain again At least the school has closed for summer And my mother and I are on the road again We’re travelling down to the big city Where Roman baths can still be seen In her purse the moneys jingling Holding possibilities of ice cream At McFisheries counter you bought haddock by the pound I wanted salmon, cod or scampi but you said That money don’t come around And could you love me better If I was better at being me A guiding hand around my shoulder Pointing me towards my destiny And all the numerous wives and lovers And the ones that got away They are waiting in the future While I still have the time to play Oh theres no change in the weather They’ve forecast rain again I’m sitting at the back of the bus In my corduroy pants With a bag of sweets for my pain
