Lyrics

Look what the cat dragged in
Shivering with a broken wing
Go pick it up
And warm it in your hands
Feathers black
But green somehow
Like beetles crushed
Upon the ground
And it seems to weigh
Not much more than an egg
Some flapping
Then some tweeting
Then an end to the beating
Of its panicked heart
Unfathomably small
So, go find an empty biscuit tin
Quick, before the kids get in
Let's bury little blackbird
In a hole beneath the tree
Where, as it must
It turns to dust
I once had a suit of armour
That I'd long ago outgrown
I had it melted down
To forge two rings
And now that ring upon my finger
Is scratched and badly worn
And stuck fast beneath
A knuckle now engorged
Just like I've grown beyond
The notches of my belt
My restraints
And my resolve is burst
And perished
In a box beneath the stairs
So I'll throw it out into the rain
Along with the bikes
Of good intentions
The disappointed barbeques
And long redundant gates
Where, as it must
It turns to rust
So look what the cat dragged in
Whiskers hide a stupid grin
Rain-soaked and crest-fallen
Black feather in my hat
You know just where I've been
Yet still you want to dance with me
Despite the cuts and bruises
And the blisters and the tears
So hold me in your arms
Forget about the dust
Forever's not as long
As it used to be
So take those good intentions
Take those broken wings
Carry them around a while
Wear them like a ring
And, as it must
It turns to trust
