Little bird

james
come little bird sing to me softly
come little bird sing to me please
come little bird sit on my shoulder
come little bird and sing to me
paivi
why should i sit upon your shoulder
why should i even sing for you
why should i tell you all my secrets
why should i sing them just for you
james
come little bird i need your guidance
come little bird i need your help
come little bird and show me the way
help me find the words
paivi
you know the words are already there
they're floating round inside your head
you don't need me to find them
you know that they're already there.
then at 2.41 we sing the above lines in unison.
Hey! I'm lost again
hey i'm lost again
i don't know where i am
i thought i knew
but i was wrong
hey i'm lost again
i leapt before i looked
i should have known
that i might fall
i took a wrong turn
i went the wrong way
directionless
i'm lost at sea
i took a wrong turn
i thought that south was west
headed east for the north
and now i'm lost
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it
well close the door and take a seat
what seems to be the problem
well take your time we're here to help
you've nothing to be afraid of
what lays ahead is of no importance
tomorrow might not ever come
we'll cross that bridge when we come to it
but first we have to face the here and now
so how are things are you feeling well
are you coping with what life throws at you
too much to do too little time
the hours are getting shorter like the days
Destinations
i crossed the river into the city
i felt so cold and alone
over the water the trains and the traffic
heading to their destinations
i cross the border into a new land
i feel so cold and alone
nobody listens nobody cares
they have their own destinations
i cross my fingers and pray tomorrow
that i won't feel so cold and alone
is there no comfort is there no solace
what will be my destination
i am a stranger
lost in a strange land
i feel so cold and alone
Too far gone
had the whole damned thing planned in my head
i knew from the start
i knew from the offset
where it was that i was wanting to go
but the road did twist and the road did turn
and i ended up somewhere else instead
somewhere i didn't want to go
well i found myself in another place
too pigheaded to turnaround about face
too far gone
too far gone
well i've come this far so i'll just keep going
to i don't know where
etc
Will that ever be enough
we need to know what we don't know
we have to see what we can't see
a deep desire within us all
a need to know to know it all
unlock the secrets of the universe
find out the secrets of our world
hold the key that opens everything
but will that ever be enough
a need to touch a need to hold
a need to hold it in our hands
for good or bad for one and all
for everyone or not at all
History repeats
all hail the new horizons
bow down to the gods
the bright lights of the city
our brand new shiny toys
the sweet inertia of entropy
hey we're dying on our feet standing still
oh they've turned the clock back
to poverty and greed
ignorance and carelessness
it's a power trip
a blame culture hitting all the wrong targets
we're dying on our feet as history repeats
hey we've all been here before
and we've made the same mistakes
fell for the same lies
and listened to the wrong guys
I was touched (by his noodly appendage)
i lived the life of a non believer
i was agnostic for a while
then saw the light in atheism
sittin' on the fence just ain't my style
then i was touched
by his noodly appendage
it really took me by surprise
when i was touched
by his noodly appendage
i see the world through different eyes
i got a patch and a stripey jumper
and set sail on the seven seas
i'm gonna end this global warming
inclement weather and tsunamis
cos i was touched
by his noodly appendage
it really opened up my eyes
when i was touched
by his noodly appendage
i'll be a pirate til i die
i'm in the church of the flying spaghetti monster
i'm pastafarian through and through
i'm in the church of the flying spaghetti monster
i'm pastafarian
what are you?
I will stand beside you
There aren't any words
there's nothing I can say
so come into my arms
and I will hold you
I don't know how you feel
but yes I can imagine
take my hand
and I will stand beside you
There's nothing I can do
to fix what has been broken
so come into my arms
and I will hold you
I don't know what to sing
but I feel that I have to
take my hand
and I will stand beside you
Let's get lost
on a cracked blue day
there's a clear horizon
you'd better wrap up warm
cos it's cold as ice
don't know where you're going
or how you're gonna get there
there isn't anyone to follow
no star to lead the way
let's get lost etc
the sea is calm
oh the wind is still
but the tide will take us
to who knows where
let's get lost etc
through the narrow streets
and the darkened alleys
off the beaten track
that's where the memories are waiting
let's get lost etc
All of my wrongs (falling apart)
i'll put on my brave face
to face the world
i won't show my feelings
to anyone
i'll be the life of the party
the heart and soul
so no one will notice
so no one will know
that inside
i'm falling apart
i'll pick up the pieces
try and start again
from all my mistakes
i will try to learn
and all of my wrongs
i will try to right
but will anyone notice
will anyone know
that inside
i'm falling apart
Control the information
can you see any room for compromise
turn defeat into a victory
reframe rephrase try make things look a little better
turn shit into gold manipulate the figures
you can fool most of the people most of the time
and most of the time most of the people can be fooled
just control the information
don't lose control of the information
can you see any room for compromise
turn defeat into a victory
rephrase reframe try make things look a little better
turn shit into gold manipulate the figures
you must control the information etc
Oh I don't know
do you recall do you forget
do you have any memory
of what just happened yesterday
do you believe what you were told
and do you feel at liberty
to question the status quo
oh i don't know
i don't who to trust
i don't know who to believe
do you believe in equity
or everybody for themselves
do you believe in anything
do you have faith in anyone
or do you stand alone
no man is an island
This is the day
this is the day
i'm gonna finalize my plans
this is the day
i'm gonna make you understand
i'm gonna walk down the street
shake hands with everyone i meet. (repeat)
yeah.............this is the day.
i'm gonna put my life in order
i'm gonna do the things i oughta
i'm gonna do whatever i have to
i'm gonna get myself together
things are gonna get much better
i believe that's true
i'm gonna walk down the street
shake hands with everyone i meet. (repeat)
yeah.............this is the day.
this is the day
i'm gonna take the big ole bad bull by the horns
this is the day
i'm gonna right all of my wrongs
i'm gonna walk down the street
shake hands with everyone i meet.
i'm gonna walk down the street
shake hands with everyone
