Giving Me Wings Lyrics
You're a fool man
You threw it away
You kill her
With your confidence
In the old days
The cause you embraced
The simple things
That people over complicate
Speaking in lines
Known to yourself
Your speaking at length
On all those days
Will you come with me
And we'll be ourselves,
And we'll walk into the light
And you can colour yourself
In golden wings
You're never yourself
Not even with me
Will you come with me
And we'll ask the dust
It's on my way
It's all my concentration
Can hold
But you alienate me
And throw it down
And rip it off
When nothing's feeling right
And I'll show you how
You can sellotape it on
You're giving me wings
So I don't have to jump
And you're giving me will
So I can carry on
Dissimulate and celebrate this
Time we had alone
You threw it away
You kill her
With your confidence
The cause you embraced
The simple things
That people over complicate
Known to yourself
Your speaking at length
On all those days
And we'll be ourselves,
And we'll walk into the light
And you can colour yourself
In golden wings
Not even with me
And we'll ask the dust
It's on my way
It's all my concentration
Can hold
And throw it down
And rip it off
When nothing's feeling right
And I'll show you how
You can sellotape it on
So I don't have to jump
And you're giving me will
So I can carry on
Time we had alone

i love this song soo much.. for the birds is such a great album.
BEST FRAMES SONG EVER!! its so beauiful...i so would love to know what glen was thinking about when he wrote this... this song officially made me their greatest fan ;)
Most beautiful love song ever written, I'd have to say.
Although I love "Headlong" as well... hmmm. Tough choice!
Glen wrote this song just after he'd finished reading what would become one of his favourite books; "Ask The Dust" by John Fante. A Wonderful, if not a little strange, book about a passionate love/hate relationship.
