two birds

belle & sebastian

two birds sitting on a wire

big one makes his move

he spreads his feathers

rubs his beak

boy and girl are leaving school

he is shy

but she will follow him

she don't know why

life is short

and then you sleep

pull down the wall

it's only masking honesty

pull down the wall

it's breaking up the family

pull down the wall

hear the true call

start the day with little things

they'll blossom into prayers and little wings

look at what is in your heart

how could it be wrong?

the little man is telling you

people gathering in the square

they've had enough

their leaders they are killing them

life is short

and then you sleep

pull down the wall

it's only masking honesty

pull down the wall

it's breaking up the family

pull down the wall

hear the true call

start the day with little things

they'll blossom into prayers and little wings

when all the banks began to fail

i thought that we would have a change

but they found all this cash

we didn't have to patch it up again

they never think to spend the money

on the everlasting broke

or the sick

what a waste

two birds in the promised land

one is building walls to keep the other in its place

imprisoned like the special son

he became the greatest

broke his chains and busted out

life is short

and then you sleep

pull down the wall

it's only masking honesty

pull down the wall

it's breaking up the family

pull down the wall

hear the true call

start the day with little things

they'll blossom into prayers and little wings
