Ollie Bird - "Little Sparrow"

[Birdie]

What we've got here is a failure to communicate,
I'm the man, I'm the little sparrow.
I've got a pocketful of coins, a head full of overkill.
It's hard to keep on the straight and narrow.

I want to beam on in the fire igniting in the hearts of men.
But all I ever get is a hazy stare of sad regret.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate,
I'm the man you just can't reach.
I' a soldier with a smile, a heartbeat with no order.
I believe in the sights I see.

I want to beam on in the fire igniting in the hearts of men.
But all I ever get is a hazy stare of sad refrain..

If they shoot me down, take me back to the place where I was found.
If they shoot me down, take me back to the place where I was found.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate,
It's all peach trees and tall elves.
I've got a lover in New Hampshire, a carnival in Idaho.
But my hearts in the safest place I find.

I want to beam on in the fire igniting in the hearts of men.
But all I ever get is a hazy stare of sad refrain..

If they shoot me down, take me back to the place where I was found.
If they shoot me down, take me back to the place where I was found.

What we've got here is igniting in the hearts of men.
What we've got here is igniting in the hearts of men.
What we've got here is enlightening the hearts of men.
What we've got here is enlightening the hearts of men.



This is one of my favourites and I guess it's because of the message. I write weird lyrics, I really encode them and reference them to my life, leaving other people going: "Wuh?". But, I think this is one the most straightforward songs of mine.

I really love these lyrics mate. They're amazing!
