The whiskers of the fresh water catfish 
Are more dangerous than maybe they might look 
If you’re fishing and you happen to catch that fish  
Please be careful when you’re taking out the hook 
 
My fiancee’s father took me with him fishing 
In his boat out on a giant fishing lake 
I was eager to score points and so was wishing 
A good impression of myself that I would make 

He caught a fish each time he cast his line out 
He caught 10 fish in just an hour span 
I didn’t get a single bite when I cast mine out 
And it looked as though I was the lesser man 

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish 
Are more dangerous than maybe they might look 
If you’re fishing and you happen to catch that fish  
Please be careful when you’re taking out the hook  

I accepted that this outing was a fail 
When my fishing line from slack grew very taught 
It felt like I had landed a small whale 
It pulled our boat ten yards, I shit you not! 

I fought this beast until my legs were jelly 
I pulled it in with all the strength I had 
But I’d hooked it in its giant catfish belly   
And apparently that really makes them mad! 

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish 
Are more dangerous than maybe they look 
If you’re fishing and you happen to catch that fish  
Please be careful when you’re taking out the hook

It squirmed and thrashed, its whiskers all aflutter 
I grabbed it which in hindsight was quite dumb 
Like a hypodermic needle into butter 
A whisker found its way into my thumb!

I’ll admit I cried a little and grew queasy 
My fiancee’s father was not sympathetic 
Pulling out a catfish barb’s not easy 
And Screaming like a school girl is pathetic 
 
The whiskers of the fresh water catfish 
Are more dangerous than maybe they look 
If you’re fishing and you happen to catch that fish  
Please be careful when you’re taking out the hook

“Shirley Heights” this night has quite a great Significance to me and was the holiday I got engaged and partied, made friends and got my bean shakers. I still have them to this day and Shirley heights will always have a place in my heart, it was a party like no other, amazing atmosphere, steel drum band, cocktails 🍸 and jerk chicken with beans and rice, possibly the best salad and meal I have ever had! What a night man! 🥰 and the best thing of all, I got to spend it with the girl I Love her so much ❤️ 9 years later and here we are! I plan to visit Antigua again one day 😊

Shirley-Heights.

A new fast tracked rock song I've been working on. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Better stay quiet, it’s better that way 
Don’t tell me nothing, we got nothing to say
No warning, no forecast, just grind every day 
The thunder is coming,  coming to stay

Jump up high, look down below 
Survey the wreck, enjoy the show
Took a while, truth got undressed 
Cash got blown out in excess

Who needs money, who needs food 
All that matters is your attitude 
Stacked-up debt and a plastic crown 
Keep that circus spinnin’ round

Politicians grinnin’ with a champagne glass 
Spillin’ excuses, kissin’ their own ass 
We clap back, no time to impress
Laugh at the mess, scream out the stress 
This anthem’s chaos, nothing less

Dollar bills burnin’ like kindling wood 
Preachin’ progress, never understood 
Smile for the cameras, play pretend 
Stage lights blind while the pockets bend 
We’re laughin’ loud ‘cause it’ll never end

Whenever the man spoke, yeah, it’s smoke 
Every damn promise was one big joke 
Said “progress” while we all went broke 
Crowd shouts louder, laugh as they choke 
It’s the anthem for the common folk

Same old song, still spittin’ this mess 
Your greed’s a disease we refuse to bless 
Fat cats loungin’, takin’ a bow 
While the streets bleed out, who’s laughin’ now?

Attitude’s armor, sarcasm’s blade 
March through the ruins of the game they played 
Spin doctors choking on their own spin 
Write their anthem with a devilish grin

Jump up high, look down below
Look down and enjoy the show
Took a while, truth got undressed 
Gold-plated trash with a diamond vest

Who needs money, who needs fame 
All that matters is you play the game
Laugh it up while the ship goes down 
We clap along, clown after clown

Join them now, stop using your brain
Laugh track rolls, guitars sustain 
Sarcasm drips, repeat the refrain 
We vanish in the noise, it’s insane
