lyrics
Do you have any wings
Oh no what should I speak
alas I don't have any wings
only fins only fins
and I would swim away
But I'm just a fish without any sea
now all the birds are laughing at me
where are your wings
where are your wings
how can you fly away with those things
how can you fly away with those things
Do you know
how, how to change
said the bird
to the fish
he doesn't know why
he doesn't know why
but he saw the fish cry now
I don't know how
But I lost my ocean
and I want to fly
up up above
but I don't know why
I wasn't born with wings
But I'm just a fish without any sea
now all the birds are laughing at me
where are your wings
where are your wings
how can you fly away with those things
where are your wings where are your wings
how can you fly away
one by one
they went their ways
oh my God
what am I meant to do with these fins
what am I meant to do with these fins
But I'm just a fish without any sea
now all the birds are laughing at me
where are your wings
where are your wings
how can you fly away with those things
where are your wings where are your wings
how can you fly away

A beautiful, haunting ballad, wonderfully done. This is a originally a protest song about the Iraq war by Tom Waits, but here it sounds like a traditional English folk/Irish ballad. Don't miss it, it's a keeper. David Goggin

I am a big Emily Barker fan. This little EP is basically some old songs ( circa 1940's ) done by a very talented artist with a beautiful voice. Don Soper
