“Fish” originated as a song on Throwing Muses' 1985 demo tape, The Doghouse Cassette. 4AD Records head Ivo Watts-Russell grew so enamoured with the song that he not only included it on the promotional album meant to introduce his label to the masses – he named it after a line within the song.

Fish Lyrics
I have a fish nailed to a cross on my apartment wall
It sings to me with glassy eyes and quotes from Kafka
It sings to me
An eel is squirming on my couch
He's talking up a storm
I'm laughing at his face
He slithers down across the floor
I'm laughing
I have a man
It follows my hips with his hands
Don't worry (I'm laughing)
Dance in the road (I have a man)
And it explodes (It follows my lips with his melting eyes)
Don't worry (Dance in the road)
Fellow turns a fishy eye from the counter
I feel at his hand
Stalking in the grey
The girl behind the counter sees a fin
An eel slithers to the chalkboard
It writes 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5
Plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6
Don't worry
Dance in the road
And it explodes
Don't worry
Dance in the road
The house is reeling
I'm kneeling by the tub
Lonely is as lonely does
Lonely is an eyesore
The feeling describes itself
I have a man
It follows my hips with his hands
I'm laughing at a man
It follows my lips with his melting eyes
Don't worry
Dance in the road
And it explodes
Don't worry
Dance in the road
The house is reeling
I'm kneeling by the tub
Lonely is as lonely does
Lonely is an eyesore
The feeling describes itself
Don't worry
Dance in the road (I have a man)
And it explodes (He follows my hips with his hands)
Don't worry
Dance in the road
Eye...
I'm painting his eye in the middle of the floor
Fish is frozen in my living room
Stares out of a block of ice
With one melting eye... eye... eye... eye...
Eye...
