The Things I've Heard

from Destroy All Conifers by Quintessence

/

about

This song was also called The Bird Cage and was recorded in the The Midlands. The piano was quite out of tune, so I had to try to match my singing to the piano.

lyrics

Why did you cage them?
You must have had your reasons
I saw one of them once
Flying through the blue sky
Without a care in the world

The things I’ve heard
Given me by my bird

Can’t you just see when?
This will all be in season
I never saw one since
But every day I watch the sky
Without a hope and a prayer

The things I’ve heard
Given me by my bird

The things I’ve heard
Given me by my bird
