David Gray "Birds Without Wings" lyrics

Birds Without Wings

Wishing that something would happenA change in this place,'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrappingFind an empty package

Take for a whileYour trumpet from your lipLoosen your hold, loosen your gripOn your old waysThat have fallen out of stepIn a changing timeHoist a new flagHoist a new flag

Angry sun burn downJudging us allGuilty of neglect and disrespectAnd thinking small

And death by boredomAnd death by greedIf we can't stop takingMore than we need

But across the fractured landscapeI find the same thingsTired ideasBirds without wings

Birds without wingsBirds without wings

And these are just thoughtsOn lack-lustre timesI've no interestIn excuses you can find

Like you've had a hard dayNow you've too tired to careNow you're too tired to careYou've had a hard day

Well across the fractured landscapeI see the same thingsTired ideas broken valuesMany with the notionThat to share is to loseA hollow people bound by a lackOf imagination and too much looking back Without the courageTo give a new thing a chanceGrounded by this ignorance

(and the cat comes)We're just,

Birds without wingsBirds without wingsBirds without wings
