lyrics

I know you never asked me to, but I sold all the better parts of you. I sold your lungs to the
drunks - wouldn't take your liver. I sold your legs with a grin to the shortest bidder. I sold your
home, I sold your bones to build my keep. I stole your wine, I drank your time to help me sleep. I
stole your home, I sold your bones to build my keep. I stole your wine, I drank your time...

When I found the bird that was singing, I tried to capture it for good. I broke his wings and
cracked his ribs, and spoiled his lungs. Damn my clumsy hands again. God damn my clumsy
hands. Damn my clumsy hands again. God damn my clumsy hands.

I know you never, you never had no proof... the parts of me you kept in salt water ever belonged
to you. I'll wage a bet, all I have left you couldn't tell... my stolen parts you kept in jars upon your
shelf. I'll wage a bet, all I have left you couldn't tell... my stolen parts you kept in jars...

When I found the bird that was singing, I tried to capture it for good. I broke his wings and
cracked his ribs, and spoiled his lungs. Damn my clumsy hands again. God damn my clumsy
hands. Damn my clumsy hands again. God damn my clumsy hands.

BAD IDEAS

(2011 - 2016)


Borrowing their name from the lyrics of an old Alkaline Trio song, BAD IDEAS is a

British punk rock group that owes as much to the youthful swagger of 90’s Brit-pop groups and guitar led indie bands as it does trans-atlantic punk rock.
