Billy Talent - Bird In The Basement Lyrics






Well maybe it's us
But I really think that it could be you
We were head over feet
It was ironic that our dreams had come true
And so I packed up all my luggage and headed for the coast
Spandex, peanut butter, and more jam on my toast

We don't mean no harm
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break's
Handshakes
The more we give you
The more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake

Tell us that we blow and then we'll tell you, "You suck!" (You suck)
Throw another battery at us and we'll duck
Unpack all my luggage, nothing else to do
There's a method to our madness and it stems from you

We don't mean no harm,
It's just honesty's priority
And we just broke our break
Handshakes
The more we give you
The more you take
But it's so hard when everything's fake
And you're fake!

When everything's fake
We'll be okay
We'll be okay

When everything's fake
We'll be okay
We'll be okay

When everything's fake
We'll be okay
We'll be okay

I said
I will wonder
I will wonder
We will be okay

I said
I will wonder
I will wonder
We will be okay

  1. t.... ....

    Love this more then any of the bully talent stuff much more progressive not streamline

  2. L.... l....

    Intro I'd best ever.. 2018 anyone?

  3. B.... ....

    damn i wish they made these more avaliable.

  4. a.... ....

    @Rasche93 they had to change because there was already an American punk band with that name and more records

  5. B.... E....

    Bet u anything u got that off wiki I did

  6. s.... ....

    Hard Core Logo. The nigga in the movie had two 'T's' in his name but they dropped the second 'T'

  7. L.... G....

    no they were Forced to Change their name due to an American band having the same name (Billy Talent/Pezz is Canadian) and so they changed it to Billy Talent.

  8. j.... ....

    It could be the candy called pez.

  9. S.... ....

    and then they named themselves Billy Talent because of a movie in which a guy in was called Billy Talent...

  10. c.... g....

    Really guis? Pezz is cool but even at a billytalent concert i went to they themselves saud pezz was dead. Quit arguing about it.

  11. e.... m....

    Billy talent and pezz are nearly same but they have changed their music style a little. As billy they were much better, much more synchronized and there was better rythm. Till they have introduced new album dead Silence= piano song WTF? Except viking dead march and surprise surprise and maybe also dead silence (song) it's more rubish. The albums Billy talent I , II , III were best. That's just my opinion. If someone thinks something other please reply by smarter comments

  12. P.... ....

    Billy Talent = best band ever!!!!!!!!!!

  13. L.... ....

    yeah ikr? Bill Talent is so gay XDDD

    L.... ....

    I like billy a lot. I am gay! Fuck you!

  14. s.... u....

    Just cause they don't like this anymore doesn't mean they suck...

  15. F.... ....

    oh well bill talent sucks now who cares anymooooooo

  16. s.... u....

    You kidding? Ian is the face of billy talent. Whenever most people think of BT, they visualize that cool brown dude with that awesome mohawk :P

  17. A.... ....

    Because Pezz and BT are the exact same band .____.' They just changed their name.

  18. T.... M....

    so agreed

  19. T.... P....

    Billy Talent

  20. q.... b....

    way better now i think

  21. S.... J....

    Billy Talent/Pezz came first, but an American band called Pezz bought the rights before Billy Talent did and they were forced to change the name :s

  22. �.... s....

    Billy talent / pezz ..
    Best Punk band EVER !

  23. D.... ....

    not a band. a company called canadian pezz.

  24. G.... ....

    haha! random "You suck" at 1:33

  25. l.... ....

    @kugunga They tried suing the Memphis punk band Pezz for copyright infringement, however, the American band had had the name for longer than the Canadian Pezz so that kind of backfired. They then, in turn, had to change their name to Billy Talent.

  26. k.... ....

    For the last fucking time no one in the band is named Billy, the lead singer's name is Ben. They got their name from a book.

  27. a.... ....

    @Fallinldols ya, he's amazing

  28. D.... H....

    @madz10299 They're the same band.

  29. A.... I....

    Love this!

  30. x.... ....

    better than Billy Talent now .... in my opinion ;)

  31. C.... ....

    @MelissaAnnLegard1989 I know whatcha mean.. I listen to a lot of underground 90's bands. Finding that stuff is hard.

  32. P.... ....

    I love their music regardless, even though their styles are different from when they were Pezz and now, it's still the same music I never get sick of no matter how many times I listen to it. (:

  33. M.... u....

    @footinmouthindustrys live they scream a lot xD

  34. s.... d....

    @champofrap2 not so much billy talent III tho, where the hell is the screaming?

  35. M.... u....

    @trottelfilmer but the "new" too =) xD

  36. A.... ....

    @danogolden No they don't have a tour guitarist. I don't think they need one though. Jon Gallants bass is too powerfull for a rhythm guitarist :)

  37. C.... C....

    whats with their song titles having nothing to do with the lyrics lol

  38. y.... ....

    @wearingchucks yup

  39. M.... M....

    i love this intro (0:00-0:25) !!!!
    Billy Talent 4-Life, Best Band !!

  40. K.... ....

    BETTER THAN EACH OTHER BAND EVER

  41. F.... ....

    billy talents guitarist is way too underrated wow.

  42. M.... M....

    throw another battery at us and we'll duck? now how much better can u get than that xd BT AND PEZZ FOR LIFE!

  43. M.... D....

    wish billy talent would reproduce some of pezz songs

  44. P.... B....

    I think this song sounds more like today's billy talent song than the other Pezz songs i've heard from now.

  45. J.... ....

    Anyone know where I can download Watoosh?

  46. R.... M....

    thanks.

  47. R.... M....

    can you put the lyrics in the info part please?

  48. w.... ....

  49. k.... ....

  50. h.... ....

    do u think i can get the album at hmv

  51. b.... ....

    i wish theyd play this live

  52. V.... ....

    same, as soon as a band gets big they have to start sounding like the same old shit u hear on the radio.

  53. L.... W....

    So cool to hear that ska influence their, I wish they still used it.

  54. S.... M....

    Canadian music Rox!!!

  55. 0.... ....
