Nightingales Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

Tell me do something true true of you and me 

That we're too busy living through, too busy to see 

What is it that we do, makes us what we are? 

If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars? 

Who are we, what we got, are we a firework show? 

Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago 

Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone 

I find it hard right now to name you one 

Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales 

If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice 

Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice 

Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales 

Who are we, what we got, are we a firework show? 

Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago 

Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone 

I find it hard right now to name you one 

Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales 

If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice 

Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice 

Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales 

God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats 

With a fear that is biblical under our hats 

Who are we, what we got, are we a firework show? 

Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago 

Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone 

I find it hard right now to name you one 

Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales 

If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice 

Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice 

Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales
