Pictures of the Catch
[Intro]
Dawn breaks soft on weathered pier and net
Gypsy guitar swings wet and warm and set
[Verse 1]
Snap a picture of the boat at dawn
Snap a picture of the haul they've drawn
Fishing news in pictures, quick as a fin
All good pics where the stories begin
Salt spray kisses lens and leather hand
Silver scales flash bright on moving sand
Every frame a tale of tide and toil
All good pics bring the ocean's spoil
[Pre-Chorus]
Shutter clicks like castanets in rhythm
Light dances on the water's prism
Stories rise with every golden gleam
All good pics flow like a dream
[Chorus]
Pictures of the catch, doo-bee-doo
Fishing news in colour, fresh and new
All good pics for me and you
Pictures of the catch, swing it true
From harbour light to midnight blue
Every snapshot sings for the crew
All good pics where the heart beats through
Pictures of the catch
[Verse 2]
Trawler, longline, harbour scene
Global fishing on the screen
Click and scroll and swim along
Pictures of the catch, the song
Nets piled high on rusted quay
Gulls cry loud where the wind blows free
Ice holds the gleam of morning's prize
All good pics reflect the skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Shutter clicks like castanets in rhythm
Light dances on the water's prism
Stories rise with every golden gleam
All good pics flow like a dream
[Chorus]
Pictures of the catch, doo-bee-doo
Fishing news in colour, fresh and new
All good pics for me and you
Pictures of the catch, swing it true
From harbour light to midnight blue
Every snapshot sings for the crew
All good pics where the heart beats through
Pictures of the catch
[Bridge]
Django's ghost picks strings of brine and spray
Minor swing turns major with the day
No words needed, just the frame and sound
All good pics go spinning round and round
[Final Chorus]
Pictures of the catch, doo-bee-doo
Fishing news in colour, fresh and new
All good pics for me and you
Pictures of the catch, swing it true
From harbour light to midnight blue
Every snapshot sings for the crew
All good pics where the heart beats through
Pictures of the catch, doo-bee-doo
All good pics for me and you
Pictures of the catch
[Outro]
Pictures of the Catch...
Fade on the final frame
