Pictures of the Catch

gypsy jazz · English

[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 [End]
