To the Birds (Island Demos, January 1992) Songtext
von Suede

Don′t take your life 'cause your bicycle won′t fly
You may be going to Heaven tonight
Don't spoil the show for the love of some albino
You won't be going to Heaven alone

I see her by the window waiting every night
So I wouldn′t give a shit if my bicycle′s in bits
I think I'm going to Heaven on it

I see her by the window
Pour the poison from you
I′ll go there through the window
In my 16 hole boots

And I'll sing to the birds there at my side
And I′ll sing to the birds who will save my life

Don't take your life ′cause your bicycle won't fly
You may be going to Heaven tonight
I wouldn't give a shit if your bicycle′s in bits
I think I′m going to Heaven on it


I see her by the window
And I see there's a day
We′ll walk out through the traffic
Pour the poison away

So I'll sing to the birds there at my side
And I′ll sing to the birds who will save my life

La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah
I will lie down for her
La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah
I will lie down for her
La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah-ah
I will lie down for her
La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah-ah
I will lie down for her

La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah-ah
I will lie down for her
La-la-la-la-ah, la-la-la, Ia-la-la-ah
I will lie down for her
