Patrick Wolf - Pigeon song

Tekst :

London, did you have to
Take my child away?
You buried him under
Rent and low pay.
I ve been cyling in circles
Round your empty streets.
I ve been searching
In the pouring rain.

I ve been going alone
To the cinema
I ve been stealing all my food
From the electric avenue
Now the pigeons gather
Round my feeding hand.
And we talk til the evening fades.

I have learnt how it goes
What you wait for never shows
And what you least wanted
Holds you down like a stone.
Just like a stone.

Now i feed the birds.
Day after day.
Only they can hear me pray for
A lighter heart. a lighter load
To be moving. moving. moving
My way home.

    Dive dive dive

    Put and opening shot. Across your bows.
    Got tunnel vision. Pull the sheets in now.
    Let em flap. Let em rip.
    This man of war gonna sink your ship.
    Gonna blow you midships.
    Gonna dive tonight.
    There s no release when your deep down...

    My desire

    All alone in a lonely apartment
    I remember the moment my
    heart went crazy....crazy.
    You were all that a young
    boy dreams of
    when he s hopin and prayin
    for true love, baby.

    I never believed that dreams
    came true,
    but I ve become a believer,
    because of...

    Better dead than simple

    Lipstick
    A touch of mascara
    Hair gel
    Like a Hollywood actress
    Go to the stylist
    A bit of moisturising cream
    And some instant beauty make-up
    Open the door, we’re gonna hit the street
    And who cares what they say about us out there

    I’d rather be dead than plain, than plain, oh so plain
    I’d rather be dead than plain,...

    Oh Billy jive with Willy s wife
    Cos she s the best thing in your life
    Don t do no wrong - Just come along
    And take her dilly dilly dally dong - Tonight

    Willy is mean
    But have you seen - Have you...

    True believer

    I can still remember,
    not so very long ago
    in 1977.
    We would sit and
    we ould talk about
    forever in our little house
    on Lugo.
    It was our little piece of heaven.

    We would laugh,
    we would dream,
    you d embrace me and
    make me believe.

    Chorus:
    If the...
