Karaoké Bird on a Wire Troy Cassar-Daley & Jimmy Barnes

Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Like a fish on a hook

Like a line in some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I if I have been

And if I if I have been unkind unkind

I just hope you

I hope you will let it go by let it go by

If I if I have been

If I if I have been untrue untrue

I just hope you know

I hope you know it was never to you it was never to you

Like a baby still born

Like a beast with its horns

I have torn everyone that reached out to me

Oh

But I swear by this song

I swear

And by all

I have done wrong

I have done wrong

Hmm

I will make it all up to thee

Oh oh oh

Saw a young man

Saw a young man leaning on leaning on his wooden crutch his wooden crutch

He called out to me

Calling out to me

Don't ask for so much

Don't you ask for so much

And a young woman leaning in

And a young woman leaning in her darkened door her darkened door

She cried out to me

Crying out to me

Why not ask for more

Why not ask for some more

Like a bird on a wire

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way

I have tried in my way to be free to be free

Hmm
