Cock Sparrer Bird Trouble Lyrics

Bird Trouble Lyrics

You got, you got, you know what 

You got, you got, you know what, 

How long can freedom last,

when you got bird trouble and your sinking fast 



Well I heard you told her that you loved her

And you whisper sweet nothings in her ear

And I heard you're planning a wedding

With vol-au-vents, speeches and beer

Don't you know you're under the thumb, boy

You're acting like a lovesick slob

Don't you care you'll lose all your mates

For a wife, mortgage and a job

And it's obvious to everyone but you 



You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

How long can freedom last,

When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast



She tells you what to do and where to go

She tells you what to say and what to wear

And when we're on boys' night out

You're gone for hours on the phone to her

It's embarrassing to see you crawl

When you used to be the number one FACE

I'm telling you this as a friend

You've turned into a basket case

And it's obvious to everyone but you



You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

How long can freedom last,

When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast



You're much to young for this

Cause youth disappears too soon

Is it a rumor that the baby’s due in June

And it's obvious to everyone but you 



You'll be working every hour of the day

Every day of the week of the year

And if we ever go out (which won't be often)

It'll be me that's always buying the beers

She'll be gone round her mother's house for hours

Or talking to her mates on the phone

You'll be the one who's left at home with the baby

Wondering where it all went wrong

And it's obvious to everyone but you 



You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

You got, you got, you know what, bird trouble

How long can freedom last,

When you got bird trouble, and you're sinking fast [3x]
