My Bird Performs (2001 Remaster) - XTC

Fine art never moved my soul

No vintage wine designer clothes

But my world shakes for me

My bird sings sweetly

A different kind of tinsel

Decorates my tree

Yes my bird performs

A thousand cheshire cats

Grin inside of me

Yes my bird performs

There she goes

Shakespeares 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

Yes my bird performs

The cage is open

But shes 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 designer clothes

My bird sings sweetly

Shakespeares sonnets leave me cold

My bird sings sweetly

The drama stage

And the high brow prose

My bird sings sweetly
