If I Could Be A F*#kin' Fisherman Was Almost A Beatles' Song

________________________________________________________________________________________________

If I could be a f*#kin’ fisherman I would.

If I had the capabilities of being

something other than I am, I would.

It’s no fun being an artist.

You know what it’s like,

writing, it’s torture.

I read about Van Gogh, Beethoven,

any of the f*#kers. 

If they had psychiatrists,

we wouldn’t have had

Gauguin’s great pictures.
