Dirty Birds by Kat Flint
Dirty Birds lyrics
Boys with a basketball
Kept in a cage to save us all
I walk the long way home
Down all the streets we never go, down
We never go down
Must have been ten years old
Pressed to the steamy window
This is where dreams are born
Watching the Soho girls perform
The girls perform
And you are on the other side of the city that I cross
at night
On a sequin(?) trail of red-end(?) lights
I'll be watching all those dirty birds
In flight
In flight
This is the secret life
This is where TV came to die
Here is where sex is sold
Twenty pound notes are passed and rolled
They're passed and rolled
They cover the walls in flowers
To muffle the drinkers after hours
And I keep (something) right there
Cities are sordid love affairs
Are love affairs
And you are on the other side of the waters that we'll
swim at night
And it's not quite home yet
But that's alright
I'll be watching all those dirty birds
In flight
In flight
I will grow my wings and fly away from here, I will
I will grow my wings and I will fly away from here
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
We will grow our wings and we will fly away from here,
we will
From here, we will
