lyrics
Sometimes the bird, it just doesn’t crow
Sometimes it sings, it sings, it sings
Sometimes the bell, it just doesn’t toll
Sometimes it rings, it rings, it rings
The bird, it flew as it was frightened by the ringing of the bell.
A startled starling joins the sky.
The strike of every single hour, rings around the tower
Bringing starts and ends to all of those nearby.
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
Sometimes the phone it just doesn’t ring,
Sometimes you call, and call, and call.
Sometimes your star, it just doesn’t rise
Sometimes it falls and falls and falls
The man, he ran as he was frightened by the ringing of the bell.
The startled starling joins this guy.
The strike of every single hour, rings around the tower
Bringing starts and ends to all of those nearby.
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
Sometimes it sings, it sings, it sings
Sometimes the bell, it just doesn’t toll
Sometimes it rings, it rings, it rings
The bird, it flew as it was frightened by the ringing of the bell.
A startled starling joins the sky.
The strike of every single hour, rings around the tower
Bringing starts and ends to all of those nearby.
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
Sometimes the phone it just doesn’t ring,
Sometimes you call, and call, and call.
Sometimes your star, it just doesn’t rise
Sometimes it falls and falls and falls
The man, he ran as he was frightened by the ringing of the bell.
The startled starling joins this guy.
The strike of every single hour, rings around the tower
Bringing starts and ends to all of those nearby.
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
You know you’ve got the best of me
But please don’t take the rest of me
And oh, my word you are so beautiful
And oh, my word you are so beautiful

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnamsupported by 6 fans who also own “My Word”
Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently.
