Stevie Jackson - Bird's Eye View Lyrics
What was old, once was newWhat’s lying derelict once stood straight, proud and trueTaking a bird’s eye view, life goes on with a songWell maybe with a lick of paintYou might not think my head is on straightI would be lying if I told you the truthWhat was old once was new, taking a bird’s eye viewWhat stands ugly and mean awaiting demolition dayWas once the start of somebody’s dreamNow the Sun shines through the broken glassThe bike for the birthday boy, he’s left it now, he’s gone awayAnd the lilac wall paper once brought home and hung with patience and careNow there’s nobody thereWhat was old once was new, taking a bird’s eye viewOn the draughtsman’s board this looked like a dreamModern housing pitched like tents around a village greenWhat was old once was new, taking a bird’s eye viewTaking a bird’s eye view, I’ll pack my wings and get out of hereThere’s nothing else that I can doWhat was old once was new, taking a bird’s eye view
