Leader:
Birds grow in the sky
They settle on the badminton net
They shake it when they leave the net
It's never nearly over yet

Cecil clark:
Holiday in risk
On a little fast

Leaders ii and iii:
That glancing stare, ach!

Cecil clark:
Hands wet so technically

Leaders ii and iii:
So true

Leader i:
Something so true
It cannot be a rule
You don't break it

Cecil clark:
It breaks you

Leader:
Break it

Cecil clark:
It breaks you

Leader:
Break it

In fear you ask what I think
Confusion your secret goal
In fear I'll think as you

Cecil clark and leader:
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying
Staying just the
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
On a little

Leader:
Fast

Leaders ii and iii:
So he guessed and guessed
And lied the rest

Cecil clark:
A drifting lion
On a roaring raft

'Bird'

As though poetry
Had anything
To do with it

Confusing what's right
With what's right
And what's wrong
With what's wrong

Leader:
Stop refusing to explain
Give up explaining
