Kate Nash
"Birds"


She was waiting at the station
He was getting off the train
He didnt 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 cos' I havent 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 yeah, she didnt really care about anything else
Because 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 your thinking,
Now dont 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 is how much I like you."

She said "what?"
He said "let me try and explain again.

"Right, birds can fly so high, or 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 well scared.
But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful,
That's how I feel about you.
Yeah thats 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 or 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 or they can shit on your head,
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel well scared.

She said "thanks, I like you too."
He said "cool."
