My Bird Performs Lyrics - Nonsuch - Xtc

Fine art never moved my soul 

No vintage wine and designer clothes 

But my world shakes for me 

My bird sings sweetly 

A different kind of tinsel 

Decorates my tree 

Yeah my bird performs 

A thousand Cheshire cats 

Grin inside of me 

Yeah my bird performs 

There she goes 

Shakespeare's 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 

Yeah my bird performs 

The cage is open 

But she's 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 and designer clothes 

My bird sings sweetly 

Shakespeare's sonnets leave me cold (My bird sings sweetly) 

My bird sings sweetly 

The drama stage and the high brow prose (My bird sings sweetly) 

My bird sings sweetly
