lyrics
Take a button and make an eye
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em in no time
Take a button and make an eye
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em what they like
I've made werewolves from carpet
Princes from Primark
Jellyfish out of old carrier bags
I've made fleece into foxes
Robots from boxes
Princesses transformed from old dusters and rags
Take a ribbon and make a wing
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em a fairy ring
Take a ribbon and make a wing
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em anything
I've made parrots for pirates
From papier mache
Butterflies out of old tablecloth pleats
I've made spiders for halloween
Blood out of gelatine
Jesus of Nazareth out of a sheet
Take a button and make an eye
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em in no time
Take a button and make an eye
Out of nothing we'll sew 'em what they like
Oh, I still remember the standing ovations / heard it before
The flowers backstage, the awards that I won / she's off again, save us!
Now I sit, like my mother, with needle and thread / time for a change
For the sake of the children the show must go on / she should be gone.
Bird Radio conjures up mythical sonic worlds for you to get lost in by layering flute, vocals, percussion, and more. Wonderfully creative and talented art-folk... Matt Winkworth
Recorded in one night in the Grunewald Church just outside Berlin, this EP explores the relationship between instrumentation and space.
