Ladybird Lyrics

23rd Mar 2013
A catchy number from their 'Everybody loves a happy ending' album.
The chorus may need some practise, and careful listening to,
with it's bars of varying time signatures.

Tell me a story of mind over matter,
The hope and the glory of life ever after,
The sound and the fury, the cloak and the dagger,
#11
Days when we sink like a stone! /_/_/ | /_/_/ /_/_/ |
Porcelain portraits on silver medallions,
Plasticine soldiers that march in battalions,
Angels of mercy, and lifelong companions,
#11
Days when we sink like a stone! /_/_/ | /_/_/ /_/_/ |
#11
| /_/_/ /_/_/ | /_/_/ /_/_/ |
There's a room, somewhere, with a different look,
Where your secret life is an open book,
Where the love we made was a chance we took,
#11
Days when we sink like a stone!
#11 #11

Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire!
Let us be lovers, we'll melt after midnight,
Hoist up the main sail, and coast through to daylight,
Twisted like candles that fade in the half-light,
#11
Days when we sink like a stone!
Well, we die, sometimes, to be - gin again,
When the same old dreams have the same old end,
When we lose our mind, or we lose our friends,
#11
Days when we sink like a stone!
#11

Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire!

Porcelain portraits on silver me - dallions,
(Your friends have gone----!)
s #11 #11
Plasticine soldiers that march in bat - talions,
(Your friends have gone----!)

Angels of mercy, and lifelong com - panions!
(Your friends have gone----!)
Tell me a story of mind over matter,
The hope and the glory of life ever after,
The sound and the fury, the cloak and the dagger!
Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire!
Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your friends are gone,
Ladybird, fly a - way, your house is on fire!
