The Birds
Appears on: Love Crime (re-release), Hopeful Monsters
The birds woke up before me
And I woke up before three
And my face, yeah, it was smiling
And the smile on my face was a terrible smile
It didn't feel real and with my finger on the dial
I'm phoning London to speak with the Queen
I wanna know why I'm in this bad dream
And the birds woke up before me
And I woke up before three
My ears, yeah, they were aching
And my back's gonna break and my eyes they go round
Yeah I'm so down to earth I'm on the ground
There's a note on the gates to Heaven they say
A good sum is based on your ability to pay
Your turn, Mr. Trumpet!
And the birds woke up before me
And I woke up before three
My stomach's slowly churning
And my head it goes thump of the beat of your heart
Yeah we're both so downtrodden you can't tell us apart
I've been thinking lately about drinking some beer
It's the only stuff I know that makes your head clear...
The birds woke up before me
And I woke up before three
And my face, yeah, it was smiling
And the smile on my face was a terrible smile
