Biography:
The Veils (formed in 2002) are a New Zealand band based in London, fronted by Finn Andrews. His father was a founding member of XTC's Barry Andrews.
Their sound has been compared to artists as diverse as Jeff Buckley, The Birthday Party, The Smiths, and Joy Division. Their live shows have become famed for their emotional intensity and Finn's often scarily possessed stage presence and his unique singing voice.
They released their debut album, The Runaway Found, in Spain late in 2003.

Am
Am Em
Through the charred black winter trees
Dm Am
I hear their voices sing to me.
Am Em
Fearsome black birds crying high,
Dm Am
But there'll be no warning when I die.
Am Em
Some lonesome sparrow saying don't you know
Dm Am
that you're gone forever when you go
G Am
Oh, and i hear them calling
G Am
Through my window every morning
G Am
Your life dear boy means nothing
Em E
Say the birds, The birds, the birds
Am
Am Em
Then by the willow I did see
Dm Am
A swarm of buzzing honey bees
Am Em
"Good morning honey bees" I cried
Dm Am
But to me they offered no reply
Am Em
And that fearsome black bird answered instead
Dm Am
"Boy there's now a price put on your head"
G Am
Oh, and I hear 'em them calling
G Am
From my window every morning
G Am
"Your life, dear boy, means nothing"
Em E
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.
Am
Em G Am
No use hiding in the water.
Em G Am
No use hiding in the square.
Em G Am Em
Know those eyes are looking for you everywhere.
Am Em
Well you'll be glad my love to hear,
Dm Am
One morning they did all disappear.
Am Em
Tired of all the summer rain,
Dm Am
they made their nest inside my brain.
Am Em
But don't worry darling, pay it no mind
Dm Am
true friends like these are hard to find.
G Am
Now I no longer hear 'em calling
G Am
From my window every morning
G Am
And my life, at last means something
Em E
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.
