Bird Has Flown (Alternate B-Side Ver.)

"A different recording from the version released on a single. Ritchie tracked the Wah-Wah guitar on afterwards and also the guitar at the end of the middle section." For the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow The sensation's not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me The sensation's not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known And the bird it has flown Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me
