Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore
Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor
Lonely aint lonely, someone calling at the door
Someone lovely and shes bringing bad news
She clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs
Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs
And showing such fear at being found unawares
To be here and be bringing bad news
Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, thats how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here this
Well, shes told, « Hold your buttons and look at the sky
Someone will fix things if you let your face dry
Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high
And you may transcend the bad news »
Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, thats how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here this
For all hammers and nails
For all leaves and winds
For all love ambitions
And enemies and friends
She shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go
She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow
And her voice it decays and before it does she goes,
« I will never again deliver bad news »
Something bad happens and a lot of people go
Bad themselves, thats how awful it is
Turning half the heart into something hard and dark
And she had to bring here this
Mm, hey little bird ? hey little bird
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
Hey little bird ? hey little bird
Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you
(Hey little bird ? hey little bird)
Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)
