Nightingales Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

Tell me do something true
True of you and me
That we′re too busy living through
Too busy to see
What is it that we do
Makes us what we are?
If we sing are we nightingales?
Shine are we stars?


Who are we? What we got?
Are we a firework show?
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been
Stranger things have gone
I find it hard right now to name you one

Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales
If singing birds must sing
With no question of choice
Then living is our song
Indeed our voice
Best agree you and me
We're probably nightingales

God′s a proud thundercloud
We are cartoon cats
With the fear that is biblical
