Bird Song

[Verse] Well, I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by Saw what I'd done, he set up a nest outside And he sang about what I'd become He sang so loud, sang so clear I was afraid all the neighbours would hear So I invited him in, just to reason with him I promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang louder and louder inside the house And no I couldn't get him out So I trapped him under a cardboard box Stood on it to make him stop I picked up the bird and above the din I said "That's the last song you'll ever sing" Held him down, broke his neck Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget But in my dreams began to creep That old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet [Chorus 1][x2] I opened my mouth to scream and shout I waved my arms and flapped about But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout [Chorus][x4] From my mouth [x4]
