Spread Your Legs - The New Birth Brass Band

I used to live 'round here I was the boy with the flash clothes She was the girl with the acid stare I saw her at the place You knows she knows you know How she shakes When she jacks her body To the sounds of Oran Juice Jones And Jocelyn Brown Oh spread your wings Before they fall apart Home is where the hurt is darlin' Follow your heart So she walks into this dead end bar Sticks her handbag On the chair So she walks into this dead end bar Puts hers handbag on the chair And she waits For words we shared When we were 15 and still cared Cos she feels I'm a scar from the wound that time cant heal And I said Don't let your dreams out of your head Stick it to the man instead Don't fool your heart Lying about the fears that you had back then Did you try to change your life Did you ever try to change your life You repeat and repeat and repeat Now what's up with that Now she loves somebody else In flash clothes She was the girl with the acid stare And now she paid to have One of those And she weighs the word she says And she knows You exist Now she feels I'm the scar from the wound that time cant heal Oh spread your wings Before they fall apart Home is where the hurt is darlin Follow your heart Spread your wings Before they fall apart Home is where the hurt is darlin Follow your heart Heart, heart, heart

Sammy was low Just watching the show Over and over again He knew it was time He'd made up his mind To leave his dead life behind His boss said to him, "Boy, you'd better begin To get those crazy notions right out of your head" Sammy, who do you think that you are? You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar Spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cause you know you should do better That's because you're a free man He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon Wishing he was miles and miles away Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay Since he was small Had no luck at all Nothing came easy to him Now it was time He'd made up his mind This could be my last chance His boss said to him, "Now listen, boy You're always dreaming You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far" Sammy boy, don't you know who you are? Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar? So honey, spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cause you know you should do better That's because you're a free man Come on, honey Fly with me

Oh babe You know I'll take Just a little bit more Just a little bit more And time Time goes Time goes slowly by When I know that it can fly C'mon spread your wings Spread your wings You can do anything, everything, anything
