Human League - Crow And A Baby Lyrics

A crow and a baby
Had an affair
The result was a landslide
The result was a dare

The result was a baby
Who wanted it all
Moved out of the doll's house
Moved out of the hall

With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red
Said, ‽My father was a crow
Now I want all fathers dead”

‽Find the fathers of this world
Treat them as a fatal foe
Put them in the deepest hole,
Then cover the pit with snow”

With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red

I'm just trying to tell you
What you'll come up against
If you venture from my side
If you think you're so mature

You will end up in a field
You will be someone's manure
Mushrooms growing from your back
Feeding some damn carrion bird
Do you want to contribute
To the corruption of the world?

With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red

A crow and a baby
Had an affair
My dream was the baby
The crow was your heir

Parts of me love parts of you
That at least is obvious
Give my baby back to me
You must see it's only just

With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red
With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red

With one wing on the town
And a gleam in an eye of red
