Little Bird lyrics
by Rufus Wainwright
Little bird, little bird, little bird, watcha' hear?
The clink of morning cheers
Orange juice concentrate
Crossword puzzles start to grade
One-across, four letter word, it's just not sitting
Little bird, little bird, little bird, what do you see?
Picture perfect scene
Two-toned lawns are manicured
The gardens wearing haute couture
It's hiding something
It's trying too hard
Hiding something
It's trying too hard
Little bird, little bird, little bird, where are they now?
Daytime TV lounge
A carriage clock, a mantelpiece
A family wiped up, J cloth cleaned
Unsaid festers in the throws of the sofa
Little bird, little bird, little bird, how are you feeling
Like help and quarantine
Pearly whites, touch down smile
Absent creases ‘round the eyes
Tell-tale, heart sale
We smell rats in the kitchen
Tell-tale, heart sale
We smell rats in the kitchen
Little bird, little bird, little bird, what can we do?
Think tank think rescue
Simon says, etch a sketch
Some un-coded message only he would
And quickly now
Cause this is not how it ends
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Well, I've got one more question
(one more question)
And I swear I’ll let it rest
(Ooh I'll let it rest)
Little bird, little bird, little bird
I’ve just one more question
(Little bird, little bird)
And I swear I’ll let it rest
One more question
(Little bird)
Ooh I’ll let it rest
(Let it rest)
(Ooh) one more question
And I swear I’ll let it rest
(Ooh I’ll let it rest)
Little bird, little bird, little bird
Where have you gone?
