No Bad News Lyrics - Bonnie Prince Billy

Trouble, more trouble can you get anymore 

Slow bubble boiling on the bedroom floor 

Lonely ain't lonely, someone calling at the door 

Someone lovely and she's bringing bad news 

She clenches and she cries and she lays on the stairs 

Pounding on the earth and yanking at her hairs 

And showing such fear at being found unawares 

To be here and be bringing bad news 

Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go 

Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 

Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 

And she had to bring here this 

Well, she's told, "Hold your buttons and look at the sky 

Someone will fix things if you let your face dry 

Keep your face near the earth and your heart beat high 

And you may transcend the bad news" 

Well, something bad happens and a lot of people go 

Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 

Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 

And she had to bring here this 

For all hammers and nails 

For all leaves and winds 

For all love ambitions 

And enemies and friends 

She shakes her face so fiercely that all her features go 

She lays like a monkey unclothed in the snow 

And her voice it decays and before it does she goes, 

"I will never again deliver bad news" 

Something bad happens and a lot of people go 

Bad themselves, that's how awful it is 

Turning half the heart into something hard and dark 

And she had to bring here this 

Mm, hey little bird hey little bird 

Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you 

Hey little bird hey little bird 

Thank you for not letting go of me when I let go of you 

(Hey little bird hey little bird) 

Thank you for not (letting go of me when I let go of you)
