Birds

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"
