Lyrics by A. Vörös
Bait on the hook at 7:07
High tide at 8:08
Fishing season is from 10 to 11
Come and catch me!
Fisherman, fisherman
Set up your machine again
Show me what you caught
If you're hungry, if you're not
Bait on the hook at 7:07
High tide at 8:08
Fishing season is from 10 to 11
Come and catch me!
Fisherman, fisherman
Turn on your machine again
If you think I'm your haul
Take it all, take it all
Turn on your fishmachine
Turn on your big machine
I know, it's your pleasure I took:
So come and catch me on your line with your hook
Come and catch me!
Fisherman, fisherman
Use your machine again
Stick it in the water
Full load on her!
Bait on the hook at 7:07
High tide at 8:08
Fishing season is from 10 to 11
Come and catch me!
The song "Fishmachine" by Superbutt is a call-and-response style song that utilizes fishing as an extended metaphor for a relationship between two people. The lyrics refer to the fishing process, including the time to fish, the use of bait, and high tide, in order to express the singer's readiness to be caught by the fisherman. The fisherman is asked to use his machine and catch the singer by using his hook to place bait and turn on his fishmachine to reel her in.
The use of fishing as a metaphor for relationships is utilized here to describe a power dynamic between the two people. The singer is not passive in the metaphor, as she knowingly "stole the fisherman's pleasure" and is willing and eager to be caught. The lyrics indicate that the fisherman has power over the singer but also that the singer is willing to be subservient to him.
