alex swaffer – strumming bird lyrics
he’s got six strings to pluck
and all those posters up
of jimi, jeff and steve
he plays a two+tone strat
and wears a cowboy hat
keeps a plectrum up his sleeve
he knows his way around a song
can play the chords and sing along
out there somewhere there’s a band he can belong
this little strumming bird
got sick of playing pool
got his friends from school
and started up a band
wrote songs of love and fear
only a few would hear
and started making plans
they found a room they could rehe+rs+
although the sound was never worse
out there sеarching for a chorus and a verse
this little strumming bird
hеaded out on the road
with the family in tow
played the nightclubs and the bars
made local history
somewhere beside the sea
still shooting for the stars
they got their songs down to an art
everybody knew their part
out there waiting for a bigger place to start
this little strumming bird
went in the studio
all this is true you know
and they laid a record down
vocal harmonies
promises and guarantees
but still searching for that sound
they never really made the grade
and so the magic starts to fade
out there somewhere there’s an album never played
from this little strumming bird
they tried but it wasn’t so
and so they let go
and went their seperate ways
it could’ve ended worse
one’s a doctor, one’s a nurse
one drinks coffee for his pay
and as the evening air turns cold
this verse and chorus has been told
out there somewhere there’s a man growing old
this little strumming bird
