Birds of Wales

Life

by Birds of Wales
Birds of Wales

Biography:

How does a one time varsity soccer star, a student of political science and a descendant of Florence Nightingale get mixed up in the world of rock? And furthermore...where does a band get a name like Birds of Wales? Vancouver singer/songwriter and frontman of Birds of Wales, Morgan Cameron Ross, tells the story best...

"While living on campus at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George I spent most of my time either playing soccer or writing songs on acoustic guitar in my room," recalls Ross.

[riff]
D
Well you read the books your father gave you,
D/B
Ate the food your mother made you,
D/F# G
And left us all behind.

D
Now growing up is always tough,
D/B
Cause no one seems to know enough,
D/F# G
Like whether or not you are fine.

Once upon a time they told you,
Everything in life will hold you
Up to the burning flame.
The arguments of lonely men,
With topics like estrogen,
Never far behind.

[riff]


D
I’m going to breathe in for myself,
D/B
Oxygen for my health,
D/F#
Topic of grandeur,
G
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.

I’m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.
[riff]

Well you gave it up to please yourself,
Morals left right at the door,
Saw it as a means to an end.
Relying on the bathroom floor,
A picture frame, a fight for more,
It’s not easy to break free.
[riff x2]

I’m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.

I’m going to breathe in for myself,
Oxygen for my health,
Topic of grandeur,
And a lonely lonesome lullaby.

then the riff is played over "Lonely lonesome lullaby" 4 times


enjoy
