Beautiful South, The ~ Blackbird On The Wire


(heaton/rotheray) Eyes to take you dancing Mouth to leave your wife Legs to run away with And you wonder why? Heart that makes you bypass Every other girl Smile that keeps you grinning At the madness of this world But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For i am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears i knew i'd cry Fall unnoticed down below Front to make you happy Back to make you weep Lips to keep you kissing Whilst everyone's asleep Tears to break a backbone Laughs to win a war And people come and ask me What i love you for But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For i am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears i knew i'd cry Fall unnoticed down below And with a tongue built from quicksilver And a character of steel They actually come and ask me How i feel But like the blackbird on the wire I will not take the prey on you You wouldn't want me to For i am too soft for such a thing And like the blackbird on the wire I just watch you by The tears i knew i'd cry Fall unnoticed down below more free lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)
Eyes to take you dancing
Mouth to leave your wife
Legs to run away with
And you wonder why?

Heart that makes you bypass
Every other girl
Smile that keeps you grinning
At the madness of this world

But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For i am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears i knew i'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below

Front to make you happy
Back to make you weep
Lips to keep you kissing
Whilst everyone's asleep

Tears to break a backbone
Laughs to win a war
And people come and ask me
What i love you for

But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For i am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears i knew i'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below

And with a tongue built from quicksilver
And a character of steel
They actually come and ask me
How i feel

But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For i am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears i knew i'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
