Robyn Hitchcock - Filthy BirdLyrics

Look at the cloud above the bus stop It's in the shape of you and I Swarming around us in an ever-shifting circle In the sky Look at me down there on the viaduct 5 Covered in grease and lime and scales Murmuring, "Thank you, thank you" to the Romsey gravel And the gales Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird 10 Soaring away above the chessboard Many's the eagle on the wing Checking their instruments before they bomb the children As they sing ("There's a place for everything") Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird 15 Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird Splash my cold enamel with blood A rendezvous with stone will leave you bleeding Step by step I set your face in stone Ah 20 Look at the massacre on cable But you know it won't happen here We're all too busy watching massacres on cable Oh yeah Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird 25 Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird Ooh, a happy bird is a filthy bird
