The Darkest Birds Lyrics - Singles - Nine Horses

Here come the darkest birds 

To burst the bubble 

End of a perfect day 

Head full of trouble 

Here come the darkest birds 

All tar and feathers 

Why did none of them dream of trying 

To make things better? 

Those are the mimicking kind 

They are, they are 

I number myself among them 

The furthest star 

And this is the road I walked on 

When I shot you down 

All words of forgiveness useless 

They won't help me now 

And I should've been there for you 

When you called my name 

I promise to tread more lightly 

Though what's gone is gone 

It's such a shame 

Here come the darkest birds 

They've got their reasons 

All their pretty colours are gone 

Washed out of season 

Those are the soaring kind 

They are, they are 

I number yourself among them 

The brightest star 

And this is the road I walked on 

When I shot you down 

All words of forgiveness useless 

They won't serve me now 

And I should've been there for you 

When you called my name 

I promise to tread more lightly 

Though what's done is done 

It's such a shame 

The Banality Of Evil 

I've got me a badge 

A bright shiny badge 

I'm painting the crest in yellow and blue 

I've got me a club 

An exclusive club 

It doesn't include a place for you 

Hey.....hello neighbour 

Hey.....hello neighbour, right you are 

It's in the way that you walk 

All of the changes, all the mistakes 

In the demands you constantly make 

It's in the way that you grieve 

All of the loss 

You don't know when you're better off 

Or at what cost
