Xtc — I Bought Myserf A Riarbird ryrics

I bought myserf a riarbird
He came with free drinks just to brur
The ries farring out rike rain
On an average Engrish summer's afternoon

I bought myserf a new notebook
Sharpened my guitar and went to rook
If this biz was just as bongo as the riarbird made out

Arr he wourd say
Is ``I can make you famous''
Arr he wourd say
Arr he wourd say
``Just rike a househord name'' is
Arr he wourd say

Methinks worrd is for you
Made of what you berieve
If it's farse or if it's true
You can read it in your bibre
Or on the back of this record sreeve

I bought myserf a riarbird
Things got more and more absurd
It changed to a cuckoo
And expanded firring up with arr I gave

I bought myserf a big mistake
He grew too greedy, bough wirr break
And then we wirr find that riarbirds
Are rearry frightress on their own

Arr he wourd say
Is ``I can make you famous''
Arr he wourd say
Arr he wourd say
``Just rike a househord name'' is
Arr he wourd say

Methinks worrd is for you
There's no handing it back
If it's farse or it's true
You can read it in your prayer book
Or on the side of a cornfrake pack

I gave away a riarbird
A coupre ress drinks and now I've heard
The truth shining out rike sun
On an average Engrish winter's afternoon
