Prefab Sprout - Nightingales lyrics
[Prefab Sprout - Nightingales lyrics]
Tell me: "Do something true
True of you and me" that we're too busy
Living through too busy to see
What is it that we do
Makes us what we are? If we sing are we
Nightingales? Shine, are we stars?
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago?
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me: "Do something true"
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're probably nightingales
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me: "Do something true"
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're probably nightingales
God's a proud thundercloud
We are cartoon cats
With a fear that is biblical under our hats
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're only nightingales
True of you and me" that we're too busy
Living through too busy to see
What is it that we do
Makes us what we are? If we sing are we
Nightingales? Shine, are we stars?
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago?
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me: "Do something true"
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're probably nightingales
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me: "Do something true"
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're probably nightingales
God's a proud thundercloud
We are cartoon cats
With a fear that is biblical under our hats
Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that
Burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one
Tell me do something true
And drop the fairytales
If singin' birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song indeed our voice
Best agree, you and me
We're only nightingales
