the beautiful south - blackbird on the wire lyrics
(heaton/rotheray)
eyes to take you dancing
mouth to leave your wife
legs to run away with
and you wonder why?
heart that makes you byp-ss
every other girl
smile that keeps you grinning
at the madness of this world
but like the blackbird on the wire
i will not take the prey on you
you wouldn’t want me to
for i am too soft for such a thing
and like the blackbird on the wire
i just watch you by
the tears i knew i’d cry
fall unnoticed down below
front to make you happy
back to make you weep
lips to keep you kissing
whilst everyone’s asleep
tears to break a backbone
laughs to win a war
and people come and ask me
what i love you for
but like the blackbird on the wire
i will not take the prey on you
you wouldn’t want me to
for i am too soft for such a thing
and like the blackbird on the wire
i just watch you by
the tears i knew i’d cry
fall unnoticed down below
and with a tongue built from quicksilver
and a character of steel
they actually come and ask me
how i feel
but like the blackbird on the wire
i will not take the prey on you
you wouldn’t want me to
for i am too soft for such a thing
and like the blackbird on the wire
i just watch you by
the tears i knew i’d cry
fall unnoticed down below
