Jackdaw

歌詞

If I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd help you, yes I would An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd be there if I could. Well those in the know would have you believe That the jackdaw is bad an' he steals He's a symbol of darkness, a crow, the devil's own An' the poet Laureate don't like 'em An' Alfred Hitchcock didn't like 'em An' it's a pretty safe bet that you don't like 'em Well let me tell you something, I love 'em. An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd help you, yes I would An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd be there if I could. But those in the know they'll scoff an' they'll say If you were a sparrow or a robin you'd despise jackdaws They steal your eggs an' eat your babies Well I've thought about this an' I'll tell you There might be a few rogue jackdaws But they get their comeuppance, most care If one in the flock gets left behind or set upon Others return to help and secure its safety and well-being An' I'll tell you something, I love 'em. An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd help you, yes I would An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd be there if I could. An' I'll tell you something else what a jackdaw told me "Your pecking order's all wrong", he said "You're burning your book and soon you'll be no better Than the fish in the sea Listen to me". An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd help you, yes I would An' if I was a born again jackdaw You know I'd be there and I would.
