Birds - Kate Nash

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’d better run cause I haven’t got the funds to pay this fine»

She said, «Fine»

Well so they ran out of the station and jumped onto a bus

With two of yesterdays travel cards and two bottles of bud

And he said, «You look well nice»

Well she was wearing a skirt

And he thought she looked nice

And yes, she didn’t really care about anything else

Cause 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, «Come on 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 jump 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

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»
