lyrics
Still chirping, this little bird flew in,
While I was but napping,
Arms proud and chest out
Her little wings still flapping.
Still chirping, this little bird flew by
On her way past the border,
The concrete and steel in her eye,
The brick and the mortar.
She danced a groove and gypsy jig
On little but Tennessee air,
Pulled out a sycamore twig
From a squirrels gnarly hair.
She went stitching and skipping
On dark Cambridge nights,
Her weary and worried
Graceful little flights.
Broken glass on the dashboard,
Tugging the cord on the mower.
I was lucky in life
I was lucky to know her.
I saw her in my window
On the coldest of days
Her marble-eyes congealing
The quickening stays.
Praise be to God,
Praise be to she.
Praise be to the God
That brought her to me.
She chased a cat through an alleyway,
And once a dog up a tree,
She landed soft on my heart
And was my best company.
Fly up, fly down my sweet little bird.
Fly on, I’m hanging on every word.
Every chirp every twerp,
Every French-sounding bell
I wait up long nights lost in your spell.
So I say, praise be to God,
Praise be to she.
Praise be to the God
That brought her to me.
Fly up, fly down my dear Chinabird,
Fly on, fly on, fly on back to me.
My sill is your stage,
My heart your cage,
Fly on, fly on, fly endlessly.
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
