Bluetones - The Jub-Jub Bird lyrics

Please, your sympathy's not what I crave

Nor judgement on how I behave

Or to wake up beside you today

Try as I do to let somebody in

Well I never know where to begin

It's just a sweet word and onto the next thing

But whenever I hear your name

A mist comes down over my eyes

The burden of hiding my shame

It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies

And what can I say, if confession won't send them away?

These demons inside are refusing to die

I hope against hope but they stay

And I'll disprove all that you've heard

The shortcomings of all their long words

Chattering of little birds

Now hormonal suppression kicks in

And I'm lost in the scent of your skin

And it hits like a left to the chin

But whenever truth starts to ring

A mist comes down over my eyes

The pain and the guilt that it brings

Loses faith in its host and then dies, then it dies

But whenever I hear your name

A mist comes down over my eyes

The burden of hiding my shame

It grows weak and eventually dies, then it dies

And what can I say, if confession won't send them away?

These demons inside are refusing to die

I hope against hope but they stay
