Beautiful South - Blackbird On The Wire lyrics

Eyes to take you dancing mouth to leave your wife Legs to run away with and you wonder why? Heart that makes you bypa** every other girl Smile that keeps you grinning at the madness of this world But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For I am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below Front to make you happy back to make you weep Lips to keep you kissing whilst everyone's asleep Tears to break a backbone laughs to win a war And people come and ask me what I love you for But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For I am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below And with a tongue built from quicksilver and a character of steel They actually come and ask me How I feel But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For I am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below
