lyrics

I was tired • Restless from lack of sleep • I imagined you taking care of me • But in the midst of our long awaited first kiss • Could you taste the poison on my lips? • I never led you on for long • You made your own grave • I never led you on • You wanted to keep me in a jar • When all I wanted was a road and my 500 dollar car • What did you expect? That I’d forget? • I’d turn that corner like when we met • I never led you on for long • You made your own grave • I never led you on • With the plans you made • And the hand you played • You turned my heart Into a spade You’re so deadly when you’re angry • You come up real close • And when I want to be alone • You cut me down with your ethnic tones • They travel through my veins and hurt me • They ache inside my bones don’t they? • Well I just want to be alone • I just want to be alone • I tried to believe • In truth I didn’t really • I am who I am that much is true • That may seem blunt as I I knew you too • But I never led you on for long • You made your own grave I never led you on • With the plans you made • And that awful hand you played • You turned my heart into a spade •

Coops & the Bird Adelaide, Australia

Coops & the Bird tell stories and tempt souls as they weave a rich tapestry of blues inspired folk that interlaces clever lyrics, unique melodies and a driving, rhythmic guitar.

“I was a fan of Coops & the Bird from around about fourteen seconds into their first song, and knew I needed to tell the world about them...”
