Goldfish - OUT NOW on your chosen streaming platform
I wrote this song with my friend Jilly Lukkesen in Robinialand, Belgium, in March 2019 (the day after another of Robinialand's legendary all-night music-jam parties), and released it a year later on 30/03/20.
The video was made by my sister Ciara Rickard with graphics by me!

Goldfish
by Liam S Rickard & Jilly Lukkesen, 2019, Ghent, Belgium
I wish I was a
goldfish so I could
forget yesterday
I wish I was a
goldfish so I could
swim my troubles away
how I wish I was a flower,
so you would look at me for hours
and maybe put me in your hair
How I wish I was a shower, baby,
so I could wash away your sorrows and your cares
I wish I was a
goldfish so I could
forget yesterday
How I wish I was
the rain so I could dance upon your skin
How I wish I was
a masterpiece that comes from deep within
How I wish I was a table,
but not your family dinner,
‘cause people shouting and throwing
soup at each other is not my idea of fun
I wish I was a
goldfish so I could
forget yesterday
I wish I was a
goldfish so I could
swim my troubles away
Ik wou dat ik een
goudvis was zodat ik
alles om me heen vergeten kon
I wish I was a
goldfsh so I could
forge-e-e-e-et
yesterday, yesterday, ooooo yesterday, yesterday!
