Birdcage
PETER DOHERTY · Hamburg Demonstrations 2016 · Track 03 of 08
Written by Peter Doherty
Little bird In a cage You've been turning heads around Yeah you played your part You sang along Under their instruction Looking through the bars Staring at the stars
Only love can heal the sickness of celebrity
One by one and day by day You see the good ones, they fall away See you standing there styling Waiting for the day you should be soaring
I know that you said we could never be together You're too pretty and I'm too clever Good morning heartache and these foolish things
Only love can bring the secrets of simplicity
Love is the bread Love is the wine
Love is the bread Love is the wine Love is the soul's hot coals
Love is the bread Love is the wine Love is the soul's hot coals
Why, the caged bird always sings Through the ages for the pleasure of the king? Kneeling down with a thorn in your crown Calling out your name, you slip away
I know that you said we could never be together You're too pretty and I'm too clever Good morning heartache Oh, these foolish things
Only love can bring the secrets of simplicity
Love is the bread Love is the wine
Love is the bread Love is the wine Love is the soul's hot coals
Love is the bread Love is the wine Love is the soul's hot coals
