Bird's Eye View Lyrics

	What was old once was new
	What’s lying derelict once stood straight, proud and true
	Taking a bird’s eye view
	Life goes on with a song
	Well maybe with a lick of paint
	You might not think my head is on straight
	I would be lying if I told you the truth
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird’s eye view
	What stands ugly and mean
	Awaiting demolition day was once the start of somebody’s dream
	Now the sun shines through the broken glass
	The bike for the birthday boy
	He’s left it now, he’s gone away
	And the lilac wallpaper once brought home
	And hung with patience and care
	Now there’s nobody there
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird’s eye view
	On the draughtsman’s board this looked like a dream
	Modern housing pitched like tents around a village green
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird’s eye view
	Taking a bird’s eye view
	I’ll pack my wings and get out of here
	There’s nothing else that I can do
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird’s eye view

	What was old once was new
	What' s lying derelict once stood straight, proud and true
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	Life goes on with a song
	Well maybe with a lick of paint
	You might not think my head is on straight
	I would be lying if I told you the truth
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	What stands ugly and mean
	Awaiting demolition day was once the start of somebody' s dream
	Now the sun shines through the broken glass
	The bike for the birthday boy
	He' s left it now, he' s gone away
	And the lilac wallpaper once brought home
	And hung with patience and care
	Now there' s nobody there
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	On the draughtsman' s board this looked like a dream
	Modern housing pitched like tents around a village green
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	I' ll pack my wings and get out of here
	There' s nothing else that I can do
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view

	What was old once was new
	What' s lying derelict once stood straight, proud and true
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	Life goes on with a song
	Well maybe with a lick of paint
	You might not think my head is on straight
	I would be lying if I told you the truth
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	What stands ugly and mean
	Awaiting demolition day was once the start of somebody' s dream
	Now the sun shines through the broken glass
	The bike for the birthday boy
	He' s left it now, he' s gone away
	And the lilac wallpaper once brought home
	And hung with patience and care
	Now there' s nobody there
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	On the draughtsman' s board this looked like a dream
	Modern housing pitched like tents around a village green
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	Taking a bird' s eye view
	I' ll pack my wings and get out of here
	There' s nothing else that I can do
	What was old once was new
	Taking a bird' s eye view
