Birds Lyrics

Kate Nash Birds

Songwriters: Nash, Kate;

She was waiting at the station
He was getting off the train
He didn't have a ticket
So he had to bum through the barriers again

Well, the ticket inspector saw him rushing through
He said, "Girl, you don't know
How much I missed you but we better run
'Cos I haven't got the funds to pay this fine"
She said fine

And so they ran out of the station
And jumped on to a bus
With two of yesterdays travel cards
And two bottles of Bud
And he said, "You look very nice"

Well, she wearing a skirt
And he thought she looked nice
And yeah, she didn't really care about anything else
'Cos she only wanted him to think
That she looked nice and he did

But he was looking at her, yeah, all funny in the eye
She said, "C'mon boy, tell me what you're thinking
Now don't be shy"
He said, "Alright I'll try"

"All the stars up in the sky and the leaves in the trees
All the broken bits that make you trip up
And grassy bits in between, all the matter in the world
That's how much that I like you"
She said, "What?", he said, "Let me try and explain again"

"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"

"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you"

"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"

"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Yeah, that's how I feel about you"

She said, "What?", he said, "You"
She said, "What are you talking about?"
He said, "You"

"Right birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"

"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you"

"Right, birds can fly so high
And they can shit on your head
Yeah, they can almost fly into your eye
And make you feel so scared"

"But when you look at them
And you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right, that's how I feel about you"

She said, "Thanks, I like you, too"
He said, "Cool"
