Also known as "One Eyed Fish" this is one of the few songs to have been teased in concert before it was fully played. Having been recorded in the Lillywhite Studio Sessions, Big Eyed Fish was released through a demo leak and became incredibly popular with fans. Known to have been soundchecked in 2000, fans knew the song had a high potential to be played in 2001 and drew up signs for it early on on the 2001 summer tour. And as the teases foreshadowed, the song made its debut in the encore of 5.14.01 as "Fish Monkey Man" on the 2001 Summer Tour. It quickly developed into the band's showpiece as classic 1-2 combo with Bartender featuring Roi on the Pennywhistle bridge. Since then, it has only been played full band a few times without preceding Bartender. When it is played into Bartender, song time ends as soon as Boyd's droning intro becomes the most prominent thing you hear. - dmbalmanac Main Lyrics Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh But oh God You see this crazy man decided not to breathe But oh God Oh God No way, no way You see the little monkey sitting up in his monkey tree But oh God Oh God No way, no way, no way Rain in my dreams Fall away Alternate lyrics taken from the 2000 "Lillywhite Sessions".Story of a man who decided not to breathe But, oh God, under the weight of life another one, see this monkey, sittin' in his tree But, oh God, under the weight of life No way, no way, no way out another one, a big eyed fish, swimmin' in the sea well God, under the weight of life No way, no way, no way out Other Alternate/Working Titles: One Eyed Fish, Fish Monkey Man, Man Bird Fish Monkey, Fishman & the Drunk Monkey, Fish Monkey, A Little Fishy, Street Fish, Roi's Bent Fish, Fish Schtick
