(Heaton/Rotheray)
Eyes to take you dancing 
mouth to leave your wife 
Legs to run away with 
and you wonder why? 

Heart that makes you bypass 
every other girl 
Smile that keeps you grinning 
at the madness of this world 

But like the blackbird on the wire 
I will not take the prey on you 
You wouldn't want me to 
For I am too soft for such a thing 
And like the blackbird on the wire 
I just watch you by 
The tears I knew I'd cry 
Fall unnoticed down below 

Front to make you happy 
back to make you weep 
Lips to keep you kissing 
whilst everyone's asleep 

Tears to break a backbone 
laughs to win a war 
And people come and ask me 
what I love you for 

But like the blackbird on the wire 
I will not take the prey on you 
You wouldn't want me to 
For I am too soft for such a thing 
And like the blackbird on the wire 
I just watch you by 
The tears I knew I'd cry 
Fall unnoticed down below 

And with a tongue built from quicksilver 
and a character of steel 
They actually come and ask me 
How I feel 

But like the blackbird on the wire 
I will not take the prey on you 
You wouldn't want me to 
For I am too soft for such a thing 
And like the blackbird on the wire 
I just watch you by 
The tears I knew I'd cry 
Fall unnoticed down below
