Paul Heaton - Blackbird on the Wire lyrics

[Verse 1] Eyes to take you dancing Mouth to leave your wife Legs to run away with And you wonder why? Heart that makes you bypa** Every other girl Smile that keeps you grinning At the madness of this world [Chorus] But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take prey on you You wouldn't want me to, for I am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears I knew I'd cry Fall unnoticed down below [Verse 2] Front to make you happy Back to make you weep Lips to keep you kissing Whilst everyone's asleep Tears to break a backbone Laughs to win a war And people come and ask me What I love you for? [Chorus] And with the tongue built from quicksilver And the character of steel They actually come and ask me How I feel? [Chorus] Down below, down below, down below...
