Babybird - Bad Old Man (Official HD Video)

[@michaelkennedy8270]

A slow dance with the abuse. If all the world's a stage, what plays out in the dark of the wings is not preened with feathers. One of the greatest Babybird songs, with some truly stinging lyrics.

very much agree fellow Kennedy! Babybird are the greatest and this is the absolute peak in my opinion.

He had a bad old man who beat him Took a hammer to his knees just to please him Now he's thirty-five and half-alive He's an open mouth in a beehive He's gonna smile and be happy Make everyone know that he's happy Put his smiling face on a billboard Kiss him from your car, he's happy He's not happy With his swollen lips around his early teens In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes Some days he's half-man, and then he's half-God But on his blue days he wouldn't touch his greens He's gonna make you smile and be happy Make everyone know that he's happy Put his smiling face on the TV Kiss him from your chair, make him happy He drowned his stepson in the duckpond Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song He put razor blades in the ice cream Shot a paedophile in a wet dream Mmm He's got a young man who feeds him Whispers sweet nothings just to please him He makes him cool for the TV Makes half the man he is a celebrity With his swollen lips around his early teens In his dress he can't believe it's in his genes He's half a man, and half a God One half bitch, one half dog. He drowned his stepson in the duckpond Let the wifebeater out to make a pop song He put razor blades in the ice cream Made nobody famous on the big screen Put the whole wide world on remote control He put a five times rapist on his TV show On every single channel in every single home You can even hear his voice on the telephone Mmm Shalala

Why this singer and band never took off internationally is beyond me. He predated Cold Play (Who seem to have stolen a few tricks from baby birds playbook) if you ask me. But Cold Play sounds lame compared to Baby Bird. Just saying.

It's mostly the fault of the producers and the label.

Maybe never sold his sole ......

[@crazyaussie7054]

Right?? Have loved these guys from way back. Am loving all these new vids after nearly 20+ years now❤❤❤

To be fair, even though they haven't got international fame, a lot of brit pop bands took inspiration from them Truly a legendary band
