about
Felix: “The core of this song came out in about half an hour of writing. I followed the first idea that came through me when I sat down with the guitar. I was carrying a lot of insecurity that felt like it was piling in on me from all angles but this song was an attempt to reshape those feelings into something positive. I wanted to remind myself and all of us in the band how much belief we have in each other and in the truth of what we’re doing together.”
lyrics
Birds, birds
All I see is birds on your shirt
All I see is birds on your shirt when look at me when I’m talking to you
Four steps threeward and step nine back
It looks like Jackie pulled the cat out of the bag this time
Well done Jackie, well done me
Well done Jackie
Well done Jackie, well done me
Well done Jackie again
There’s nothing like holding on to something that’s killing you
There’s nothing like holding on
There's nothing like holding on
I wanna be beautiful
I wanna be good to myself
I wanna be good to you but you’re
So damn hard to follow
Birds
Birds
All I see is birds on your shirt
All I see is birds on your shirt
When look who turned up right on time
Old man moneybags and gentle persuasion
Here to dig the knife in whatever the occasion
Well done Jackie, well done me
Well done moneybags
Well done Jackie, well done moneybags
There’s nothing like paying for something that’s killing you
There’s nothing like killing you
There’s nothing like killing you
I wanna be beautiful
I wanna be good to myself
I wanna be good to you but you’re
So damn hard to follow
I wanna be good to you
I wanna be good to myself
I wanna be good to you but you’re
So damn hard to follow
But I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe in you (I believe in you)
I believe, I believe in you
I wanna be beautiful
I wanna be good to myself
I wanna be good to you but you’re
So damn hard to follow
I wanna be good to you
I wanna be good to myself
I wanna be good to you but you’re
So damn hard to follow
