year: 1992
written by: Colin Moulding
length: 3 minutes 51 seconds

My Bird Performs

Fine art never moved my soul
No vintage wine, designer clothes
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
A different kind of tinsel
Decorates my tree
Download Nonsuch sprite iconsYes, my bird performs
A thousand Cheshire cats
Grin inside of me
Yes, my bird performs
There she goes

Shakespeare's sonnets leave me cold
The drama stage and the high brow prose
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
The brightest fireworks
Are lighting up my sky
Yes, my bird performs
The cage is open
But she's no desire to fly
'Cause my bird performs
There she goes

And you keep saying what you got
You keep saying what you got
Look out!
