lyrics

Mr Nightingale's Song

There’s a thousand ways to steal away and a million lives built in
Staring in the city floating on the shades of grey
I can smell you on my clothes and feel you looking here
On the other side of the street you got on my head

We Saw you wandering Mr Nightingale
Trying hard to tell your tales
Singing songs, at the bar
That no one knows any more

We Saw you wandering Mr Nightingale
Trying hard to tell your tales
Dressed up in throw-outs
Of another time
And a guitar slung round your neck

And secretly the punters took snap-shots
Posting up instantly
Then you stopped to play
Just like that
Leaving with an empty hat

We saw them snicker
All ironically
Whistling to your song
You left your bouquet
Of a musty stench
A sort of ironic pay back

We Saw you wandering Mr Nightingale
Into the night alone
Soul searching Mr Nightingale
Being left out in the cold
