Pulp: The Birds In Your Garden lyrics: live summer 1999

Below are the lyrics for The Birds In Your Garden when it possibly was performed at Edinburgh Queen's Hall on August 31, 1999. These differ somewhat from those used in the demo version that was recorded a one year later. Go here for more details about the song.

It's six o'clock
the birds are singing
You are ? asleep
When I'm wide awake

I went outside
into your garden
The all were bright
and the air was cool
and as I stood there listening

Well, the birds in your garden they all started singing this song:
"Told yourself
It's alright
It's okay
Oh, come on
Take her inside
It's a crime against nature
She's been waiting all night
Come on
hold her and kiss her and tell her you care
If you wait 'til tomorrow she'll no longer be there
Come on
Come on and give it to her
You know it's now or never"
Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song

My father never told me
about the birds and the bees
And I guess I never realised that I would ever meet birds as beautiful as these

I came inside
climbed to your bedroom
I kissed your eyes awake
And then I did what I knew was only natural

And then the birds in your garden, they all started singing this song:
"Take her now
Don't be scared
It's alright
Oh, come on
take her inside
It's a crime against nature
She's been waiting all night
Come on
hold her and kiss her and tell her you care
If you wait 'til tomorrow she'll no longer be there
Come on
Come on and give it to her
You know it's now or never"
Yeah, the birds in your garden have all started singing this song
