Parrot Fashion Love Lyrics - Split Enz

Sitting on the veranda, with my old girl Miranda 

5 o'clock shadows soft in the gloom 

In love after a fashion, we're broke, spent all our passion 

9 o'clock and we're off to our room 

Coming like a habit, coming like a ritual 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love 

Drunk and disabled we're both under the table 

With the crumbs, in the doldrums we play 

Good loving and laughter, we both know what we're after 

And there don't seem a lot left to say 

Coming like a habit, coming like a ritual 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love 

Polly want a cracker, Polly want a cracker 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love 

The same old tete-a-tete in your dreamy feather-bed 

You give lessons in parrot fashion love, love, love, love. 

The same old monotone, you're gonna wind up on your own 

You learned your lesson, no more parrot fashion love 

Parrot fashion love 

Love, love, love
