about

A quick moment of lust snatched on the top of lamppost outside Watford Market, followed by a perilously near-death experience as the bus passed swiftly. Meanwhile, my colleagues and I were having to reapply for our own jobs. Bird or human, life wasn’t much fun.

lyrics

Billy got impaled on the spikes, Jilly shot down mid-flight
Phil he ate his feet to survive
This is no life
Kenny got electric-shocked, Jenny separated from the flock
And Pele, well he flew in front of a bus

This is no life
This is no life
Settle down with a nest and a wife
It’ll be all right

But nothing works how you want it to
I can’t do what I want to do
And a quick one upon the lamppost is all I can look forward to
I dodge your toddler throwing stones
I chew Kentucky Fried Chicken bones
Born and ate and died alone

But I’ll make it quick and easy
I’ll find a cage to release me
I’ll find a kestrel to decease me
