The Birds in Your Garden

Pulp · We Love Life [2001]

It's six o'clock

The birds are singing

I'm wide awake

Whilst you're still fast asleep



I went outside

Into your garden

The sun was bright and the air was cool

And as I stood there listening



Well, the birds in your garden, they all started singing this song

"Take her now, don't be scared, it's alright

Oh, come on, touch her inside

It's a crime against nature, she's been waiting all night"



"Come on, hold her and kiss her and tell her you care

If you wait 'til tomorrow, she'll no longer be there, come on

Come on and give it to her, you know it's now or never"

Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song



My father never told me

About the birds and the bees

And I guess, I never realized

That I would ever meet birds as beautiful as these



I came inside

Climbed to your bedroom

I kissed your eyes awake

And then I did what I knew was only natural



And then the birds in your garden, they all started singing this song

"Take her now, don't be scared, it's alright

Oh, come on, touch her inside

It's a crime against nature, she's been waiting all night"



"Come on, hold her and kiss her and tell her you care

If you wait 'til tomorrow she'll no longer be there, come on

Come on and give it to her, you know it's now or never"

Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song

Yeah, the birds in your garden, they taught me the words to this song
