My Bird Performs - XTC

Fine art never moved my soul

No vintage wine and designer clothes

But my world shakes for me

My bird sings sweetly

A different kind of tinsel

Decorates my tree

Yeah my bird performs

A thousand Cheshire cats

Grin inside of me

Yeah my bird performs

There she goes

Shakespeare’s sonnets leave me cold

The drama stage and the high brow prose

But my world shakes for me

My bird sings sweetly

The brightest fireworks

Are lighting up my sky

Yeah my bird performs

The cage is open

But she’s no desire to fly

'Cause my bird performs

There she goes

And you keep saying what you got

You keep saying what you got

Look out!

Fine art never moved my soul

My bird sings sweetly

No vintage wine and designer clothes

My bird sings sweetly

Shakespeare’s sonnets leave me cold (My bird sings sweetly)

My bird sings sweetly

The drama stage and the high brow prose (My bird sings sweetly)

My bird sings sweetly
