Words and music by Adam Beattie

lyrics

I kissed her at the village dance
I’d sat next to her in class
On the bus home the windows steamed up
I wrote her name on the glass
But back at school
like a fool I moved too slow
Catch the biggest fish and let it go

She sent me upstairs to her bed
I heard her party down below
She went to the pub in her dressing gown
To steal me toilet roll
She said she never keeps anything that grows
Catch the biggest fish and let it go

She bought a one-way ticket
And packed her winter clothes
She’s got so much love to give
But to whom she never knows
And when I hesitated
She quickly found another
Catch the biggest fish and let it go

She could get a meeting with the pope
She’d fake death to jump the queue
But she never watered flowers
Because she liked to buy them new
They’ll come again after the winter’s snow
Catch the biggest fish and let it go

A kiss was like a dance to her
Something that friends can share
Her mother kept her boyfriends
In a cupboard under the stairs
There’s something broken in every home
Catch the biggest fish and let it go
Catch the biggest fish and let it go
