transmissions from the water-tower - dogs & birds Lyrics

Girls with long hair
Girls wearing skirts
Girls in their cars as they're driving to work
I don't understand them
But I understood you
And I thought that I'd known what you wanted to do

Girls all dressed up
In rubies and pearls
Girls that are happy and like being girls
I don't understand them
But I wanted to try
And I wanted to make things make sense in my eyes

Take the meaning from my words
Feed it to the dogs and birds
If there's nothing I can say
To make things not turn out this way
La da da da da da

Girls on the bus
Girls on the train
Terrible nightmares that rattle my brain.
I didn't understand then
But I understand now
And I get it if you do not want me around.

Cause I can't wait for you
Like I waited for her
Just waiting and waiting and trying to infer
There was something I felt
Like broken glass in my feet
In a part of myself I did not want to meet

Take the meaning from my words
Feed it to the dogs and birds
If there's nothing I can say
To make things not turn out -

And I'm driving to your house
And I'm driving in my car
And I'm fed up with this feeling
And I think we went too far
'Cos the music's on the paper
And all our lyrics finally rhyme
We started singing in the right key
At the wrong

Tiiiiiime
I'm sorry and you're sorry and it's all falling apart
Tiiiiiime
But it's too late my little darling, you can't unbreak this broken heart, oh-

Girls with long hair
Girls wearing skirts
This girl's in my car and I can't make this work
Now I understand why
I do not wanna know
I am sorry now sweetheart, but I have to go

I cannot forget
This feeling I missed.
The way that you looked and the way that we kissed.
My hand in your hand,
And your eyes hazel blue
But - a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
