about

About falling in love with broken people and wanting to change them. About someone I know who keeps trying and getting hurt, herself

lyrics

You plucked him from the garbage, put him in a sling
Made him a bed of blankets, pillows straw and string
Took him to your deepest heart, asked him where it stings
Did your best to give some rest to the bird with the broken wing.

Pretty soon it seemed as though the bird was on the mend
it cost much more than you had thought, you had to spend and spendYou began to hope that he would fly and become a friend
it ended up taking so much more than you could afford to spend.

Sorry, but birds with broken wings find it fly
Can you afford to break your heart as you watch them die?
Little birds with broken wings clutch at you and cling
As you try your best to give some rest to the bird with the broken wing

Sorry, it's not a very happy song.

about

Cherryweather SA, Australia

I'm a Melbourne based songwriter. The guitars and vocals are mine, the rest are midi instruments. I record and produce my music at home...I've released 20 albums on bandcamp which you'll find in the discography.
The music is basically Indie pop/rock but with lots of rock, blues and dreampop cross pollination. I hope you like them.
I'm indebted to *80s and 90s Australian and New Zealand indie pop
