Mull Historical Society - Panicked Feathers Lyrics

Panicked feathers!

Outside my bedroom there was a flat roof
The garage roof where cats came through
My bedroom sat at the top
And sometimes they'd bring birds dead or dying
And sometimes they would drag them in
Over my teenage face
But who knows with cats with cats?

And I learned to climb
Outside of that window
With a friend we'd smoke outside
Dangled legs in the sun on the roof
Imagining the world was smaller than us

Cocky little gits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers
Cocky little gits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers

Later my sister's boyfriend would climb through
My bedroom window and clamber in
With a thump and a grin on his face
But who knows with sisters' boyfriends?

And I learned to climb
Outside of that window
With a friend we'd smoke outside
Dangled legs in the sun on the roof
Imagining the world was smaller than us

Cocky little gits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers
Cocky little gits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers

Now all these decades so much later
Why is it only the birds I see
I mean that feeling blood on my face
I wish there was more to show for it

Cocky little shits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers
Cocky little gits
Like nobody had ever smoked that way before
On a flat roof
Life man I wish there could be so much more
To show than panicked feathers
