Bird Song by Florence + The Machine (acapella version)

Full lyrics:

As I committed my crimes in a darkened room

A bird flew by, and saw what I’d done

He set up a nest outside

and he sang about what I’d become

He sang so loud, sang so clear,

I was afraid all the neighbours would hear

So I invited him in, to reason with him,

I promised I wouldn’t do it again

But he sang louder and louder inside the house

and now I couldn’t get him out,

so I trapped him under a cardboard box and

stood on it to make him stop.

I picked up the bird and above the din

I said “that’s the last song you’ll ever sing”

Held him down, broke his neck,

taught him a lesson he wouldn’t forget

Then I put that bird in a cooking pot

Boiled him up and ate the lot

Then I sat in the silence, thank the lord for peace,

coughed up a feather and fell asleep

But in my dreams began to creep

that old familiar “tweet tweet tweet”

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

but I couldn’t scream and I couldn’t shout

cause the song was coming from my mouth

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

but I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t shout

The song was coming from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

from my mouth

the song was coming from my mouth
