View, The - Gem Of A Bird Lyrics

Amazing song

Fed up with rain n forest fires,
There's nothing bold enough to say there is nothing at all.
These days are going fine, she's not a friend of mine,
There's nothing said so sweet,
Can anyone hear me?
I never wrote these lines see there rise from beyond,
See a friend of mine has a gift of song,
Delivered well, delivered clear my bird is singing in my ear.
I have a gem of a bird,
sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words,
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hand,
says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.
Envision the position in the lower class den,
Think once then think again.
Money first then devastation
Won't pull these times are changing,
These days are going fine you're not a friend of mine,
There's nothing said so sweet,
Can anyone hear me?
I never wrote these lines see there rise from beyond,
See a friend of mine has a gift of song,
Delivered well, delivered clear my bird is singing in my ear.
I have a gem of a bird,
sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words,
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hands,
says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.
And I tell you there's no one stealing Jupiter from me
and I'll tell you there's no one sings in better harmony,
No spaces for fickle minds on Kye Kye to fucking disagree.
I have a gem of a bird,
sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hands,
says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.
I have a gem of a bird,
sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words
The most magnificent words,
I have a gem of a bird,
I have a gem of a bird,
But I know better than her.

Take me back 5years fs

what the fuck? why are there a bunch of idiots saying McFly ripped off this song when their song sounds nothing like this

Jenni couldn't copy this if you tried unique

the woman singing is his sister, I'm from Dundee where the band are from and she was my English teacher she still teaches at the school.

One oh there best songs t.v.a.f

It's his ex-girlfriend, Katie Gwyther.

It was his bird

Annmarie Mccabe that’s what I always believed too till I seen people say his ex on here and googled it. I know his sister went on stage to sing it at t in the park in 2010 though xx

@Amy Kyle wat does kai Kia mean. Wen he sez no thickle mind on Kai kai

Mmm I actually never listened to this album a lot, but growing to really like it now.

Such a good band and album. Just love it lol

Yeah, I was going to suggest we fight over it...

:)

Great acting, Almost believed you

My last comment was for the person that uploaded the song to you tube or downloaded whatever

I thank you for doing that quality song, keep on doing what your doing it is appreciated. 

WOAH I recognise the guitar melody....?!?! Is this on an advert or something?

My favourite tune from this album

To the people saying it's a heart warming song, it's not. Kyle has said he never intended his ex to sing on it because he's not saying anything nice. It's about how she was always telling him to spell words etc.

gem of a bird kinda give's it away its his ex bird Katie Gwyther :)
