Hey Little Birdy

Hey little birdy on the telephone wire
Won’t you sing a song for me?
Hey little birdy you’re a real high flyer
Won’t you tell me what you’ve seen?
Cos I’m caught here in this crumbling town
Both my feet are stuck, they’re anchored to the ground
Don’t know what the next day brings
But if you don’t mind could I borrow your wings?
Watch me fly away
Don’t know where I’m going I’ll find out someday
Swooping through the sky
They said that it’s the limit and I don’t know why
Hey little birdy am I doing right?
I didn’t think the wind would put up such a fight
Keeps blowing me back home
And it’s real hard work up here all alone
Hey little birdy I just met your friends
They said they miss you and they want you home again
Hey little birdy, now I see
These wings are awesome but what I need’s in me

Whores

For all of the whores, the raw sluts that we sang of
The vagabonds, butchers and thieves
The lovers and losers, the winos and bruisers
You never found genuine peace
And I know they still hound you
Bloodied corpses surround you
And clamour and lick at your bones
And for all that you court them, you feed and support them
I know you will end up alone
I dreamed of you once
And I hope you remember
How I told you the truth
And this feeling of tenderness
Swept up around us, then lost in the dark
Cut down by your cutting remark
Just like a lost lover
I dread that I’ll see you
Just like a lost lover
I dress to impress you
Just like a lost lover, I hate and I miss you
But I know I am better alone
I told you the truth
And that was our downfall
And I know I am better alone.
